Hello all,
I have two quick questions that I would love some help on. I have looked at the manual (Programming Perl) and I didn't get it, hence my email.

Question 1 - How can I make variables in a function (subroutine) global (accessible from other functions)?

Question 2 - I am trying to control the actions of a program through an email; i.e. change the basic parameters by sending an email to a specific address. Can anyone suggest what regex would get me xxxxxx and y(y) if the subject line of the email looks like:

Subject: 123456 9       or    Subject: 123456 10

The 10 in the line above can be a 1 or 2 digit number. The 6 digit number right after the 'Subject:' is an employee number and the 1 or 2 digit number after it is the hours worked.

Thank you for any attention you can give to this.

Cheers,
Eric
