I keep getting this error from this code.

Too many arguments for main::get_Origserver at ./create_database.pl line 1053, near "$dbhTarget)" Execution of ./create_database.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

sub get_Origserver() {
print "******GETTING SERVER NAME OF THE DB BEING COPIED******\n";
my ($dbh) = @_;
}

When I pass a variable to the sub I get the error if I don't pass a variable it runs fine but my variables are not populated. I have never encounterd this error before. the one thing that is different is I do have a goto statement.
