Correcting that typo, you get: Test string 1 Test string 2 Use of uninitialized value in string at ./sLogData.pl line 9. Use of uninitialized value in string at ./sLogData.pl line 10. Test string 3 Calling a (@)-prototyped funtion without arguments is OK, arrays can be empty, and besides, the prototype check happens at compile time, not at run time, which is the whole point of prototyping. Finally, it produces a different Perl error message on failure. Changing (@) to ($), you get: Not enough arguments for main::sLogData at ./sLogData.pl line 19, near "()" Execution of ./sLogData.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Yours, Ingo -- Bad advice alert above... ;-) _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
