Re: general subroutine question



store where?

or pass?

pass to what?


Did you mean: Is there a way for a subroutine to
react to a call with to many
arguments?

sub accept_max_5_arguments {
die 'too many arguments!' if @_ > 5;
}

sub accept_max_x_arguments { # apart from the first
my $maxargs=shift;
die 'too many arguments!' if @_ > $maxargs;
}

If this does not help: Could you, long time posting
list member, clarify your
question?

Why is it so many people on the list are sarcastic???
example from Dani: "Could you, long time posting
list member, clarify your
question?"

This does not help the situation.
Anyway, I will claify. Is there an inheriant Perl
rule, one that does not require you to code one up,
that disallows a subroutine to pass too may arguments
to another subrountine or scalar?

Likewise, is there a inheriant Perl rule, one that
does not require you to code one up, that disallows a
subroutine to store too many arguments in @_?

If not then yes your example will suffice.

thank you
