subrouting prototype

[drkestrel]

I get the following error when trying to execute my script

main::logging() called too early to check prototype at mfileparser.pl line 58

My code is of the following structure

##Some code
if (someCondition>1000)
{
   logging("log this condition");
}
##Some other codes

sub logging($)
{
  #Do something with $_[0]
}

What's wrong?

Does the error happen if you move the subroutine declaration to some point before the code calling it? This shouldn't matter, and i found no references to having to do so in the camel book or perl documentation, but that's what it looks like it's saying. "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."

I put the subroutine declaration first(i.e. just the line declarating the method signature) before using it, and it works !
