I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that (a) this isn't quite the real code (since I see no newlines being printed), and (b) the real code is printing the return value of this subroutine, which will be a 1 from the print operator succeeding, and that's where the extra "1" is coming from after "2004".

Let's see if my psychic powers are right on both cases. {grin}
