Calling a sub with &sub will do many things, but most interstingly, it will not set @_ inside the sub, so you will inherit the @_ from the outer context, the & also means that prototypes are ignored for that call.

If you're not sure what those are, it's safer to not tamper with them, and just call subs with sub().

Somewhere it says in Learning Perl, "you don't tell someone to 'do wash the dishes' when you can just say 'wash the dishes'" this is a terrible paraphrase, but i think i left the book at work ...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
