Re^2: Elegant way to return true or nothing from a subroutine?

jasonk,
Actually, the documentation clearly states it does return nothing provided the sub was called in a void context. Unfortunately there isn't a clear way to say:

return defined(wantarray)
       ? wantarray ? () : undef
       : NOTHING;

As fortunately, this never matters, because by definition nobody gets to look at the return value in void context.	[reply]
