It’s just a typo:
19:13 >perl pod.pl
Useless use of a constant ("say") in void context at pod.pl line 6.
Useless use of single ref constructor in void context at pod.pl line 6
+.
Undefined subroutine &main::say called at pod.pl line 7.
19:39 >
Whereas with a comma instead of the semicolon:
19:39 >perl pod.pl
4
19:41 >perl -MO=Deparse pod.pl
Compiling pod.pl by macro::compiler/0.06 ...
sub Digest::base::clone;
sub Digest::base::new;
sub Digest::base::digest;
sub Digest::base::add;
use macro ('add', sub {
use warnings;
use strict;
$_[0] + $_[1];
}
, 'say', sub {
use warnings;
use strict;
print @_, "\n";
}
);
use warnings;
use strict;
print 4, "\n";
pod.pl syntax OK
19:41 >
Hope that helps,

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).

are good places to start.
