I have one function that calls itself recursively. When I prototype that function, I get the error message: "parseLine() called too early to check prototype at ssi-parser.pl line 381".
Here's the code: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

sub main() {
    doSomething("1","2","0");
    print "Done\n";
}

sub doSomething($$$) {
    my ($data1, $data2, $count) = @_;
    print "\$data1: $data1, \$data2: $data2, \$count: $count\n";
    $data1++, $data2++, $count++;
    if ($count < 4) {
        doSomething($data1, $data2, $count);
    }
}
main();

Anyone know how to get prototyping to work for this?

Thanks,
Apprentice
