Good Advice.

I was trying to keep a sub I had written that was no longer
applicable to what I needed becasue it had a lot of hard won
coding as an example.

I renamed it and replace it with the current code.  But I
must have hit ctrl-z to many times and removed the rename.
To compound things, I mistook the error message as one of
the embedded subs, which I still used in the new code.

As you said it is good to step away sometimes.

At least I did not waste tons of time chasing after missing/
extra brackets.  That always fries me.
