Why is it so many people on the list are sarcastic???
example from Dani: "Could you, long time posting
list member, clarify your
question?"
This does not help the situation.
Anyway, I will claify. Is there an inheriant Perl
rule, one that does not require you to code one up,
that disallows a subroutine to pass too may arguments
to another subrountine or scalar?
Likewise, is there a inheriant Perl rule, one that
does not require you to code one up, that disallows a
subroutine to store too many arguments in @_?
If not then yes your example will suffice.
thank you
