Add the following to get the desired behaviour:

no feature qw( indirect );

The following has the same effect:

use v5.36;
[download]

use v5.38;

Either by putting `sub palt { ... }` earlier or `use subs qw(palt);` to tell the compiler that it's not a bareword. Otherwise he'll get `Bareword found where operator expected (Do you need to predeclare "palt"?` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

For completeness, he still needs to predeclare the sub palt . Yeah. That's always the case when calling a sub without parens or `&`. It can also be done using `sub palt;`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
