What do I need to do in order to use a filehandle that was opened earlier in
a program within a subroutine? I've included an example of the code I have
that is not doing what I would like. Basically, I never get any output to
the file. If I change it so that it doesn't use the subroutine when writing
to the filehandle, it works fine. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
