Call subroutines with parentheses, like this:

mysub();

sub mysub
{
print "doidy doidy doidy\n";
}

These are module names. Take a look at http://search.cpan.org and
type these names in. Search for documentation on installing modules,
like "perldoc perlmodinstall" for example. Using modules will make
writing programs easier.
