Re: passing variables to a sub

What do you expect this line of code to do:

$sortby = $_;

I think it's wrong.

i want to need to define all variables within all of my subroutines. i want `$sortby` to be defined by `$_[0]` and `$ascdesc` to be defined by `$_[1]` etc. i want these variables defined by the same variables outside of the sub. however, i don't want any changes to these variables to change their counterparts outside of my sub.
