Re^5: What to test in a new module

the brackets do make it more visually distinct and perhaps that's your point.

That is precisely my point.

It isn't obvious that return; returns undef, so I don't depend on that. That is, I don't use that construction when that's what I want to do.

> It isn't obvious that `return;` returns undef It doesn't. It returns undef in a scalar context, but an empty list in a list context. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Whatever. It returns the same as `return();` The point is that what it returns isn't obvious — at least, not nearly as obvious as `return();` ... so it's worth the extra two characters (imho).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
