in thread Disabling the interpretation of diamond <> operator in package?
Indeed thanks! :)
see perlsub for the explanation:
&NAME; # Makes current @_ visible to called subroutine.
It's a syntax to pass parameters through, so it can't accept new arguments.
DB<27> sub tst { [@_] } DB<28> sub outer { &tst } DB<29> x outer(1,2,3) 0 ARRAY(0x2f700e8) 0 1 1 2 2 3 DB<30> x &tst 1,2,3 Number found where operator expected at
