You are not declaring them here. You are calling them. &subroutine call that subroutine. There is no reason to declare them like this. Is the same as &subroutine (item1, item2) or subroutine(item1, item2)
Actually there is a difference that someone else can explain. But there is no reason to "declare" them.

George, Thanks for the quick response. I was reviewing my code some more and here is what I think might be happening. In my code, the first thing I do is declare my variables. Then I declare my subroutines'. It looks like by declaring my subroutines, they are being executed. ??? example of my Subroutine declarations: # Get the Data Number &get_number; # Get Form Information &parse_form; These two subroutines do not take any arguments and assign values to global variables... so it appears that merely "declaring" them in the beginning of my code is causing them to execute. If this is the case, do I have to declare subroutines?
