in reply to Scalar and void subroutines

Knowing how much trouble this sort of interface was for HTML::Entities::encode_entities, I'd suggest you rethink your choice.

Keep in mind that there are a few odd "context at a distance" issues with normal Perl coding. It's hard to prove that something is in "void" context at first glance.

    Is Contextual::Return a solution to this merlyn, or are subroutines slippery no matter the case?
