John M. Dlugosz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I just noticed that a work-in-process didn't have a 1; at the end. The last thing in the .pm file was a sub definition.

It seems to me that this used to be a problem. Just what is the "value" of a sub definition? Is this something that changed at some point? I seem to recall that this used to make the pm fail to load.
