I'm not adverse to using the minutiae of Perl's syntax, but that is just a little subtle for my taste. I also get confused about when the use of & implies reusing the current @_. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

Without `&`, parentheses are optional and prototypes are observed. With &, prototypes are ignored and you must supply parens, or `@_` gets inherited. Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yeah, just too darn subtle. `sub x (\@\@) { print "@_" } @_ = qw[ some random junk retained from the current level of call ]; @a = 1..10; @b='a'..'g'; x @a, @b; ARRAY(0x1961458) ARRAY(0x196156c) &x( @a, @b ); 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 a b c d e f g &x, @a, @b; some random junk retained from the current level of call` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
