Your assertion, regarding the difference between $f; and &f();, doesn't ring quite true - consider

sub frobnicate {
  &foo;
  &bar();
}
[download]

The statement &foo; calls foo using a mirror image of @_ i.e. as passed to frobnicate - whereas, as you point out, &bar() calls bar with an empty argument list - but neither call i.e. to foo() or bar(), modifies @_ as passed to frobnicate.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

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.
