Hmm, sorry if it was misleading, but I think it's a "statement" nonetheless, no?

package foo;
sub foo
{
     1;
}

1;

Besides the fact that a required file needs a "true" value returned, I don't think the 1 at the end of the file is any different from the 1 in a sub or any block of code?

Syntactically, yeah, they mean different things, but I believe the mechanism that goes behind there are the same...

That was sort of where I was trying to get at, if it makes any sense

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
