Well, whenever being explicit breaks things. return; and return undef; is NOT the same thing! It does return the same thing in a scalar context, but a very different thing in a list one. So for example

sub foo {
 return undef;
}

if (@results = foo()) {
  print "Helo jettero :-P\n";
}

does print the greeting. Because the function returns a list containing one element, the undef. And once you assign the list to an array and evaluate that assignment in scalar context you get the number of elements in the list and thus a true value. Probably not what you wanted, right?
