Vista Tutorial - Call depth reached when calling function

Please help...I am calling this function to try and output a perf
counter value but I am getting call depth reached 101. I suspect I am
recursing the fuction but not sure how else to output the value of the
counter as the result of the function. Thanks in advance for any
advise.

Function PerfCounterValue()
{
#Connect to the local MSExchangeNMC Message Queued Outbound
Performance Counter to read value
$CounterDetail = "MSExchangeNMC","Message Queued Outbound","",
$Computer
$perf = New-Object
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter($CounterDetail)
PerfCounterValue = $perf.RawValue
#Check for errors in case counter could not be accessed
ErrorCheck
}

$LastPerfCounterValue = PerfCounterValue
If ($LastPerfCounterValue -eq $null)
{Exit
}

Try changing this line

PerfCounterValue = $perf.RawValue

to

$perf.RawValue

Yours is currently similar to a VBScript style function, where you specify
the return value in the name of the function. It works slightly differently
in Powershell - you can just write the value you want returned on a line by
its own, or you could also use a return statement

return $perf.RawValue
