Hallo,
I am trying to figure out how to use my code as .pm modules.

I have some code called /libs/routine.pm
It looks like this;
package routine;
our @EXPORT=qw(dostuff);
use Exporter;
our @ISA=qw(Exporter);
use strict;

sub dostuff()
{
    my ($scalar,$scalar,$scalar_REF,$scalar)=@_;
    ..
    ..
    ...Do Some Processing...
}

[download]

I am trying to use this module from the following perl script; 
(doit.pl)

use lib "/libs";
use routine;
dostuff("a","b",\@c,"d");

[download]

But I keep getting an error trying to run doit.pl as follows;

To many arguments for routine::dostuff at doit.pl line x near ""d"".
Execution of doit.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Anyone know why?

Ta, Matthew.
