Or an external subroutine, for that matter. But there is a programming
overhead that can matter when writing quick-and-dirty code for one-time
personal use: you have to think out an interface, which then becomes
troublesome to modify. I tend to use lots of include files, converting an
include file to a subroutine only when I think it contains code that I will
want to re-use in a different context. Would internal subroutines be any
different?
