Yes it does, but if you just stick $ref; out there by itself, or with () after it, perl doesn't get that that's supposed to be a function call and throws a syntax error.
<p>
<strike>You pretty much have to have the & as far as I know.</strike>
<p>
Or you could use $ref->(); It's monday and I'm being a blonde.
