in reply to Little Perl Mysteries: what's your answer?

I don't know exactly why it is, but
removing the parens for the prototype gives the expected behaviour. Obviously, then, so does adding a & to the function call to disable the prototype. So it has something to do with prototypes.
I'm eager to hear the resolution.

Makeshifts last the longest.
