pass to what?


Did you mean: Is there a way for a subroutine to react to a call with to many 
arguments?

sub accept_max_5_arguments {
  die 'too many arguments!' if @_ > 5;
}

sub accept_max_x_arguments { # apart from the first
  my $maxargs=shift;
  die 'too many arguments!' if @_ > $maxargs;
}

If this does not help: Could you, long time posting list member, clarify your 
question?
