in thread My problems to understand the Perl documentation

I would reword "the call of the subroutine definition" - the definition isn't called, the definition is parsed and compiled to ops, and then this compiled thing is called. But as a non-native speaker of English, I don't dare to guess how to formulate that to make it easy to understand for newcomers.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
