Gee. You'd think you weren't looking over my shoulder the whole day and only had this one message to figure out what was going on.    :)

If we change the dispatch table:
my $dispatch = {
    add => \&add_entry( $fruit ),
};

[download]
We get this result:
Sun Apr 28 01:23:38 2002 <--   in sub 
Sun Apr 28 01:23:39 2002
Not a CODE reference at aaaa.pl line 17.

The test in the original example allowed me to see that the times were in the correct order. If perl was running the sub immediately, the times would be out of order. I was unsure if this test made sense. Hence the question.
