Re: Dropping the ampersand

in reply to Dropping the ampersand

I can't tell whether this affects you without seeing the rest of your code, but there's a small difference between &foo and foo(). Specifically, &foo will get the current contents of @_ while foo() will not. If Con::liveones is expecting that, then that may be your problem.

bar( qw( testing is fun ) );

sub bar {
    &foo;
    foo();
    &foo();
    foo( 'woohoo' );
}
sub foo {
    print 'foo: ';
    print join q{,}, map { "[$_]" } @_;
    print "\n";
}

Outputs:

foo: [testing],[is],[fun]
foo:
foo:
foo: [woohoo]
