Re^2: Simple Subroutine Question

If choosing between the two, what do the PerlMonks suggest is a better way of doing this? I'd like it to be EASY to write and EASY to read... So, I was thinking the user=> would be good, but there are MANY functions in this bad boy and not sure if I should have them all use that method...

An example of a lot of arguments is below:
foo->adduser(id=>$id, uid=>$uid, prgrp=>$pgrp, sgrps=>$sgrps, gcos=>$gcos, expire=>$expire)... I mean, is that ridiculous??

The more arguments there are, the better the argument gets for passing a hash and getting named arguments. Because readability matters. For processing those arguments I'm still happy with the method I gave at Re (tilly) 2: passing subroutine arguments directly into a hash.	[reply]
