Re^5: Return a Reference or Array?

in thread Return a Reference or Array?

Well ok - I knew that.

In our example we actually do supply an argument list to both calls, yet moritz above mentioned that there were still differences (e.g. prototype checking).

So my question was: Are there any more (and if so which) differences between calling &foo(@args) and foo(@args) (assuming @args to non-empty).
