I am trying to wrap a sub to get data on how long it ran, etc... kind of like Devel::DProf except not, since this is an FCGI which doesn't lend itself the DProf... so when I do 
return &$ref;

it works fine but when I do 
my @a;
if(wantarray) {
    @a = &$ref;
} else {
    $a[0] = &$ref;
}
... do something ...
return @a;
#or 
return wantarray ? @a : $a[0];

Any idea what I am doing wrong, since this second way makes weird things happen, which tell me some data isn't getting returned right...
