Hi I have a script as follows:
--------------------------------------------
#!/bin/perl -w
sub myOne {
my($concept, $opinion) = @_ ;
print "$concept " ;
print "$opinion " ;

}

&myOne( "hello", "myviews....." );
system("/bin/date");
--------------------------------------------

When I run it I get the following output

delta{/home/dlt/SCRIPTING/perl/2}1064>./subRoutine.pl
Tue Jul 12 17:45:38 PDT 2005
hello myviews..... delta{/home/dlt/SCRIPTING/perl/2}1065>

---
Since I am calling the subroutine first...shouldn't the output
generated from the subroutine appear first ?
