Re^3: Split does not behave like a subroutine (prototype / updated)

I think it's unfortunate that undef means special parsing for CORE::builtins. / default LIST for other subs

Yes, I agree, it's unfortunate. However, from a quick check it seems that all Perl builtins that accept a plain list explicitly have a @ prototype (like die, unlink, chown), and only those with special parsing return undef for their prototype.

Am I wrong or is there no difference between no prototype / prototype (@)

I think that's true, yes.
