Dear Monks,

This is a trivial test but I would like to know if you advise to use different names in the sub from the ones used in the main part of the script. Here I have used $day in the main part and $date in the sub.Thanks a lot !

Here is my code

#! usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # la librairie appelée sert à utiliser les fonctions move et copy use File::Copy; use warnings; use File::Find; use diagnostics; BEGIN { open(STDERR, ">stderr.log") or die "Failed to open log file"; } sub general_per_day_process{ my $date = shift @_; print STDOUT "the date is $date\n"; } my @ALL_WEEK_DAYS = (20061022, 20061023); ################# selection of the week ############################ my $day; foreach $day(@ALL_WEEK_DAYS){ print STDOUT "the day is $day\n"; } foreach $day(@ALL_WEEK_DAYS){ general_per_day_process($day); } close STDERR;
