in thread Prototyping - is it necessary?

Did you commit the sin of re-typing rather than copy-and-pasting?

Does this mean that the OP needs to do some "hail Larrys"?

    No, I did a cut and paste, but as pointed out in another post I have another bug.

    (my $datafile, $chomp) = @_;

    throws an error because $chomp isn't explicitly declared/scoped and strict pitches a fit, "my" should be outside the parentheses.

      That's not "another" bug, that's the bug that led me to suspect foul play.

      See, either (1) you posted code you knew didn't compile; (2) you posted code you hadn't even tried to run; or (3) you posted code that wasn't the same as what you were running.

      I was guessing #3 a few nodes up the thread, since it's perhaps the least egregious.
