in reply to How not to write subroutines

My guess is that the extra bit of code (warn "Debugging not enabled!\n";) comes from some point where you wanted to check which branch you had followed. In the middle of all of the other stuff you cut out, you were debugging your debugging code.

    Something like that. It was more "Let's make sure I take out all the debugging print statements before this code leaves my sight" than anything else.
