Reread what he said. Arguments are what you pass to a subroutine. They're not being passed to the subroutine as you said. They're part of the subroutine's declaration.	[reply]

I'll elaborate `sub fudge($){ print @_ }` [download] that is a function declaration -- it doesn't print anything `fudge(1); fudge 2;` [download] those are function calls, it prints 1 then prints 2 If you wrote `fudge 1,2;` [download] the prototype ($) ensures fudge only gets 1 argument If you try to force the issue with `fudge(1,2);` [download] You'll get an error `$ perl -le " sub fudge($){print @_} fudge(1,2); Too many arguments for main::fudge at -e line 1, near "2)" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.` [download] Next time, when you get links, follow them, read them, its what we all do :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
