You're right; I should've tested first. How come &sub is interpolated when using arrow operator? 
&sub => "xyz";

AFAIK, this is equivalent to 
"&sub", "xyz";

    Well, I believe the => operator forces a bareword to its left to be interpreted as a string. But &sub isn't a bareword it's a subroutine call, so it works like you want it to. At least, this is my understanding. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
