RE: GlobalSubs -- Issues with getting them to work?!

Your GlobalSub starts out:

I think the problem is in assigning $record - I have had problems in the past trying to assign a single variable from @_ like that. Try instead using:

            my $record = shift();

...at least, that is what has worked for me. Note that assigning multiple vars ate a time from @_ still works fine...

Hope that helps,
