Sorry to keep this going, but I do not see what the win would be by doing it your way. Maybe it fulfills some way of doing it that some guru has claimed is the best (yes, I remember the debate over Cargo Cult programming). I don't say it is bad doing it your way, I don't see what the big deal is actually.

Using "1;" is as readable as a comment to me and most others - actually, you could think of it as one if you wish? Or is comments just plain unnecessary too (I mean, perl will run without them)? Sorry about that sarcasm, but it really looks like "Cargo Cult" is used as a buzzword this time (again).

Again, sorry to keep the discussion alive like this.

You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
