Subject: Re: Passing a $dbh to a subroutine

Michael Peppler stated:
# 
# Yes, absolutely:
# 
# my $dbh = new Sybase::DBlib;
# 
# do_insert($dbh);
# 
# sub do_insert {
#     my $dbh = shift;
# 
#     $dbh->dbcmd(...);
#     $dbh->dbsqlexec; $dbh->dbresults;
# }
# 

Is there a difference between:

  my $dbh = new Sybase::DBlib;

  mySub($dbh);

  sub mySub ($) {
    ...
  }

and:

  my $dbh = new Sybase::DBlib;

  mySub(\$dbh);

  sub mySub (\$) {
    ...
  }

does pass by reference matter with this?
