What's up with STDOUT in a function call?

Hi all,

	Heres a simple one

&PrintSummary ("STDOUT", /%runset);

sub PrintSummary {
   $prtout = shift;
   print $prtout "This is a test"
}

Why doesn't this work?

I get the error 
Can't use string ("STDOUT") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" is in use at 
foo.pl line 5.

How can I get around this?
