This is what I'm trying to understand - what issues does it create? I still don't have a real answer. In fact, in one response on why *not* to use prototypes, the content included "it's probably best to prototype new functions". > Welcome to Perl. I've been programming Perl for about 10 years. I do hate the syntax and other annoyances when I return to Perl from Java or C#, but I also appreciate the flexibility. I hope to use this list as a forum for what I hope are best practices and to further my understanding.
