I now have another problem, and I think I know the solution but I hope
there is another way.
When I just use one MAIN sub and the 'semicolon' form, the rest of the
file acts like it is in the scope of the MAIN sub, BUT when I use the
multi form it seems I'm not in the same scope so what are my choices?
The only way out I see so far is:
1. Write the 'main' program as another subroutine and call it from
each of the appropriate multi
subs--aarghh!
OR
2. Drop back to using just one MAIN sub and adding more code to handle
the alternate options as I have tried to describe.
OR
3. Translate all my perl 5 code and handle the @*ARGS array just as i
have done with the @ARGV array (sigh!).
Best,
-Tom
