\&mysub
[download]

creates a reference to the sub mysub;

\&mysub(...)
[download]

calls mysub, then creates a reference to the returned value

I'm not familiar with TK, so I don't know what bind is supposed to do, but you might be able to achieve what you want with a closure:

$input->bind('<Return>', [ sub { mysub($arg) } ] );
