About that last point, $sub->&* would rather be equivalent to &$sub, meaning it passes the current value @_ to the subroutine (the comma after &$sub, is not a typo, it's to mark the fact that you can't pass parameters with the ->&* form):
perl -MData::Dump=pp -dEbug
Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.51
Editor support available.
Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'perldoc perldebug' for more help.
main::(-e:1): bug
DB<1> $a = sub { say pp @_; say 'wantarray' if wantarray }
DB<2> @_ = qw< Hello World >
DB<3> $a->()
()
wantarray
DB<4> $b = $a->();
()
DB<5> $b = &$a,;
("Hello", "World")
DB<6> $b = $a->&*;
("Hello", "World")

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).
