You should have tried the FAQ first.
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.)
No worries Martijn. Most of us don't expect you to know the answers before
you post the question. No apology needed and do keep posting :)
