Need Help??

in reply to To & or not to & ?

There is no official Perl style. Currently I leave the & off and always put parens in so that I can keep the same style in several languages. YMMV.

However as others have said, if you're using functions from package A in package B, I'd strongly recommend using Exporter in package A so that package B can explicitly import the functions that it uses.

so that I can keep the same style in several languages.

Most of the errors I have to deal with in cross language coding come from programming in one language, then switching to another but still using the other language's syntax (or commands).

Anything I can do to allow me to code in the language de project (working on several different ones per day) is a blessing.
