People of the Perl, 

thanks for the info....I am familiar with perls subroutines so I will use 
these and this name instead of functions.  Also, my intention was to avoid 
the if , then ,elif, then constructs, mentioned by Dan, for certain 
situations  which is why I asked about cases so I will read the perldoc.

thanks

Ask the FAQ, run

                 perldoc -q "case statement"

Subroutines are both what some languages call procedures and 
functions.
