Re: [MacPerl] Subroutines

Hi !

 I'm afraid that your last statement is not quite right ... at
 least with the latest version of perl.

 '&' is definitely necessary (did you test your code ???) here. The
 semicolon may be left out, because the subroutine call is the last
 statement in the if-block and it's followed by a closing brace '}'.

 (That's what I found out when testing the code with perl 5.002
 and IRIX 5.3.)
