I should. Well, I did, but I should have realised that this question was not specific to subroutine names. In any case, I feel rather stupid for asking my question now. Re-reading the code of the module I needed to use, there is a work-around for my question. My sincere apologies for that. Thanks for answering my question though, as I do agree with you that using numeric indices in variable names is a very bad thing to do and should be avoided by all means. I suppose it's a good thing to be reminded of every once in a while. (FYI, the module I was talking about validates form-input on a website, by defining a subroutine validate_foo which validates the input of the input-field named 'foo'. I had a list of text fields of arbitary length and couldn't see another way of naming my subroutines. Until I found that is a work-around built in that, indeed, uses an array.)
