Re: Passing a hash plus some strings to a subroutine

I'd maybe do something like this, or just name it $data and use $data->{'foo'} rather than having to have an actual hash locally (unless you're worried about altering the original through the ref).

sub generate {
  my( $record, $status, $_data ) = @_;
  my %data = %{ $_data };
  ...
}

Thanks. By the time the data gets that far into my script, there is no intention to change it. However, I think for readability, I'll go with the approach which creates the local hash.	[reply]
