All the more reason to avoid implicit return statements. 

sub Sa {
    foo();  # implicit return: foo() called in Sa() invocation context
+.
    }

sub Sb {
    return foo();  # explicit return: foo() called in Sb() invocation 
+context.
    }

sub Sc {
    foo();  # foo() called in void context. no question.
    return;
    }

IMHO, the Sa() form should always be avoided.

And also IMH (but very emphatic!) O, one should certainly avoid weird "implicit return of 1" statements which are no more than maintainence pitfalls.
