Example that I saw in a page is as follows
sub f($$); //Function declaration. &f; The & bypasses subroutine prototypes, so the compiler won't complain about the subroutine call. The call also has no argument list, so it is called with its caller's @_. &f(); f is called with an empty argument list. The & causes the subroutine prototypes to be bypassed. f(); It won't compile because the prototype mismatch. f; It won't compile again. f(@a); It won't compile because the argument expected is scalars but passed is an array. f(@a, @a); This will compile. The compiler interprets the @a in scalar context, so it will pass the no:of:elements in the array to the function. &f(@a); This also compiles. The & disables prototype checking, so @a becomes the @_ of the subroutine. This is equivalent to f(5,9). In reply to Re: Perl Module
