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.
