in thread why does location of function matter?

what t'hell are 'prototypes,' anyway?!

Prototypes

Java, Ruby, even PHP ...

Yes, those languages are different from Perl. Excellent point.

Yes, it is true that "we cannot (now) change Perl-5."

No, it's not. Perl v5.20 introduced Signatures, which will hopefully be made non-experimental in a coming version.

But we most-certainly can explain it. And so, that is precisely what we should do. "Without further ado." We should illustrate the impedance-mismatch without apology

Oh, the irony.
