Right you are... :)
Btw... The code was:
sub format_cost {
my $cost = shift;
$cost =~ s/^(\d*)(\d\d)$/\$$1\.$2/;
if ($cost eq "0") {
$cost = '$0.00';
}
$cost = reverse $cost;
$cost =~ s/(\d\d\d)(?=\d)(?!\d*\.)/$1,/g;
return scalar reverse $cost;
}
To which I'be now added an extra shift at the start of the
function/method to ensure that it shifts the name of the object off,
before grabbing the first argument.
Thanks heaps for pointing out what I was missing. :)
