When return forces you to choose between having the sub
be 2 lines or running over 80 char, I think chip is right.
If you are comfortable with anon subs, you probably have
no problem with implicit return values.
Most of the time I use return, but in this case I stripped
it out. And since the entire point of the code was
to show me throwing around a ton of constructs, with each
one serving to make the code shorter and clearer to a true
expert (though not to co-workers), I had no hesitation in
pulling out my return at the end of TIEHANDLE. Which I
possibly shouldn't have done.
Oh well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
