OK, I am stumped. What's new!

I am working on a small module(my first but not last) of my own brewing. And I have generated a test script to test the module. I have a test.pl which calls a module which is exporting a subroutine OpenNotes. The problem is as follows.

test.pl
"my $notesreturn = OpenNotes($var1, $var2);"

This fails for

Undefined subroutine &main::OpenNotes called at C:\My …\test.pl line 31.

Now if I remove the "my $notesreturn =" And just have OpenNotes($var1,$var2);

I don't get an error until latter in the script when $notesreturn is needed.

Anyone have a good ideas.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
