Re: Defining subs (was: A newbie question.)

Yes, that's because EMbperl 1.x compiles _and_ executes the code block by
block, so it doesn't see the sub definition at the end when it for the first
time execute the function call, because the sub didn't have compiled at this
time.

Embperl 2.0 first compiles everything and then runs the code, so you can put
your function definitions anywhere.

If you only use the [* *] blocks to define you subroutines, it safe to use
them, also in 1.3
