Thanks, what I read the difference between use and require is that module included by use is loaded in compilation while it is loaded in execution by require, but they won't cause any difference on hornoring the protocol defined for the sub. But in my example, if I use 'use', then I should call the sub with ($$@@) instead of ($$\@\@) as defined for sub's protocol. Also, when trying your 3 commands, only the second one seems good.

$ perl -le "sub f($$@@){warn qq{@_}}; f(@ARGV,@ARGV,@ARGV); " 1 2 3 4 
+5
Malformed prototype for main::f: 29673@@ at -e line 1.
$ perl -le " eval q{sub f($$@@){warn qq{@_}}}; f(@ARGV,@ARGV,@ARGV); "
+ 1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 at (eval 1) line 1.
$ perl -le " sub f($$@@); eval q{sub f($$@@){warn qq{@_}}}; f(@ARGV,@A
+RGV,@ARGV); " 1 2 3 4 5
Malformed prototype for main::f: 29673@@ at -e line 1.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
