Re^2: Creating reference to hash and array

From a personal point of view, I'd strongly suggest using return {@_} rather than +{@_}.

If I encountered code with that "+" in it, I'd either waste quite some time wondering what it's doing there, or accidentally break the code when updating it! Using "return" is unlikely to confuse anyone.

Of course, there may be are other circumstances where "+" is the only way to get the desired result. (Can anyone concoct such an example?) In those cases, I'd have to rely on an informative comment next to it. But hey, we're all diligent with our comments aren't we? :-)

Indeed, the PBP recommends such practice, but I answered the question as asked. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]
