Re: passing paramters to a sub

There'd be no harm in:

  sub whatever( @ $ ); # declaration

  whatever(%list,$val);
  
  sub whatever( @ $ )
  {
      my $val = pop( @_ );
      my %list = @_;
      ...
  }

Using pop makes the use of prototypes unneeded. Moreover, The purpose of prototypes in perl subroutines has interesting considerations about prototypes (including a link to Far More Than Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know about Prototypes in Perl).

I use prototypes for one and one reason only. Compile-time checking. So I'd argue that prototypes are still desirable, even with the pop.	[reply]
