priyaviswam:

After I added use strict and use warnings and corrected the myriad errors, I was able to make it work just fine. I'd post the (trivial) code, but given that you didn't even bother to try to make a working example, despite being here since July, I'm not terribly motivated to cut & paste my working code snippet here.

A couple hints:

• Subroutines need names.
• Case matters.
• You actually need to *call* subroutines in order for them to do things for you.

Please make your code at least *compile* first, and then I'll be happy to give you a few more pointers.
