in thread howto parse (or determining end) of a line of perl

don't really need the sub on the outside as it doesn't really provide any extra protection that I know of

It prevents the code from being executed. Except, of course, for BEGIN blocks and use statements (which also execute when you use the -c (compile only) option to perl).
