Just to help the newbies, when you call a function just with &foo the values in @_ are used as arguments to the function. This leads to some weird results.

So, when you just want to call a function, use foo().

Erm, yes and no. &foo; (with no parens) passes the caller's @_, whereas &foo(); (with empty parens) passes an empty argument list. The former also has the side-effect of ignoring any prototypes. See perldoc perlsub for more details.

Thanks for helping this newbie :)
