[ILUG] perl subroutine params

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

if I write a perl script and in it a subroutine like 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use diagnostics;
use strict;

&some_subroutine("1","2","3");

sub some_routine ($$$) {
	print "$_[0]\t$_[1]\t$_[2]\n";
}


It ws my understanding that if I called the subroutinewith anything other
than three scalar variables, I should get a complaint.  However I tried it
out with {0,1,2,4} params and it just works on regardless.

Am I doing something wrong?  Do I need to tell perl to enforce this?
