Function prototyping in Perl

Today, I studied some old codes from year 2003. It has very weird Perl syntax which I have never seen before. I did some testing using the following code.

Without them, I won't be able to complete this piece of code. And also, not forgetting the original source code that provide me the baseline to start to work at available here . This piece of code will do the Google account authentication and authorization process, it will then grab your blog list, and provide a simple form for you to select a blog, taking your new post entry's title and content, and then post it. I have tested on FF3.2.26, Safari 5, Chrome, and IE8. There'll be some prompts to proceed depends on the browser that you are using. Some special handlings were happened during my weeks of getting this piece of code in place. I can only...
