Actually Marshall, I agree with you whole heartedly. I was quite deliberate in my asking of this question to not state up front which of the implementations I prefer, so that the responses I got would not be influenced by my opinion. It has been my experience that when asking this type of question, the best way to get clear unbiased responses is to remove as much of my subjective position from the description as possible...

That having been said, at this point it is quite clear from the responses in this thread, that my preference for multiple returns is the more popular opinion. That may not do me any good in my disagreement with my colleague, but it does hold some level of personal satisfaction.

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
