Speaking of readability and code style. Is there a consensus among the experienced and community-minded folks in regard to the passing of parameters to subs? Especially when writing subs in modules? I nowadays prefer to pass parameters as one hashref subname({foo => "x", bar => "y"}); instead of as a naked list: subname("x", "y"); or (heaven help) subname(foo => "x", bar => "y"); which looks like a hash but is only a list. I took a look at perlstyle(1) and perlsub(1) but I didn't see any hints in regard to this. I would like to cleanup the gnupod code and change it to one style in order to make it easier to maintain and less error prone. As this is not the total fun kind of work I'd like to get it more or less right the first time. :-) Any pointers apart from perlstyle(1) ? cheers -henrik _______________________________________________ Bug-gnupod mailing list Bug-gnupod@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnupod
