Perl Sub routine (Too many arguments)

[clueo8]

I have a sub routine set up that accepts 1 argument. When I try to call the subroutine again in my program, it says there is "Too many arguments" Even though there is the same ammount on the first call!

Any help would be appriciated!

Thanks

Sample code please?

sub sortby()
{
  my $query = shift;
  ...
}

First Call (In beginning)

sortby($main_query);

Second Call (later in the code)

sortby($prev_query);

That's because it's Perl and not C.
By putting the brackets after the sub name in the declaration you are supplying a prototype that insists that there be NO parameters.
Loose the brackets and all will compile ok.

sub sortby
{
  my $query = shift;
  ...
}
