Perl Subroutine Prototyping — The correct way to do it

Question

I have a subroutine called debug I use in my code. It basically allows me to see what\'s going on, etc.

sub debug {
    my $message      = shift         


        

Answer 1

Just get rid of prototypes altogether:

sub debug;

debug "Here I am! And the value of foo is $foo";
debug "I am in subroutine foo", 3;

sub debug {
    # body of debug
}
