Sub with My variable

rodry has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Here is the code in question

my $tabla = param("tabla");

if ($tabla eq "Miembros")
{
   my $llave = MensajeMiembros();
}

sub MensajeMiembros
{
my $email = param("email");
my $mensaje = "Blah Blah";

return ($email);
[download]

When I remove the my from $email it works as expected.

if you write: `if ($tabla eq "Miembros") { my $llave = MensajeMiembros(); }` [download] remember $llave is not visible outside the if() block; you should declare it before if you whant to use it outside: `my $llave; if ($tabla eq "Miembros") { $llave = MensajeMiembros(); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

is it possible that `param` is returning a list value rather than a scalar? If so, `my $email = param("email");` would fail, and you'd want to use `my ($email) = param("email");` Extra Disclaimer: this is my first post since returning from burningman.
