Just pass a ref rather than concatenating scalar strings together. use strict; use warnings; my $subref = \&test; # reference to sub &$subref (\*STDOUT, "test args\n"); # pass FH ref and string sub test { my ($FH, $blah) = @_; print $FH $blah; } __END__ -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
