Thanks to both Peter Scott, and Brian Fraser (who wrote me off-list).
Very informative. I'm cleaning up a very old script that uses the &subroutine
construct and learning more Perl in the process.

I'm not concerned about speed - I was just curious from what I've read.

The only one I was concerned with was a sub called "if", but it doesn't
look like it's a built-in function. However, just so it makes more sense to me
and to be on the safe side, I've renamed it "if_routine".
Thanks again,
Marc
