I am working with a script for a perl mud located at Boutell.com. I have added the following script to the main file that is called mudlib. When I call the function within the telnet game shell it only echos the function name and does not run the function. 

subdice100
{
  my($me,)=@_;
  #A random number between 1 and 100, inclusive.
  $value = int(rand(100 +1);
  #Announce result to room.
  &tellRoom($objects[$me]{"location:},$me,$objects[$me]{"name"} "rolle
+d $value.");

[download]
This script added without any errors, it recompiled fine. So to call this I just typed dice100 in my telnet client. Then I get dice100 that is all. Some info about the script: $me identifies the user, it is used to call subroutines. To print to a room you have to use the &tellRoom line. If you need anymore info on this script to aid me please let me know. Thank you.
Novice to Programming and Perl be kind :)
