Cool, didn't know that Perl supported function prototyping. Looks a bit quicker and dirtier than using Params::Check - fewer filtering options, no default values, etc.

I am gravitating towards creating a separate file which would contain all of my function prototypes and then I would require that in my module. My module has quite a few functions so this might be the easiest way to keep track of them all and have a single point of change rather than having to track down all that template-building legwork within the subroutines themselves that Params::Check requires.

Not quite as legible, though. And to heed the docs warning, I could get into trouble writing prototypes for already written functions. So I'll have to do a little checking to make sure I'm not doing anything too silly with how arguments are being passed and unpacked.

Anyway, thanks for pointing this out protist =)

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
