I found the possible problem and a solution.
I was putting the function below the function call. This is
how it worked with Perl and I was trying to do it the same
way. I couldn't figure out how to put this function earlier
in the script so I put the code I wanted to re-use in a separate
script and called it with include. This worked very well.
I'm tackling a sheet music database for my wife which might
be a little over my head as a newbie but I'm learning a lot
from it.
