in thread Perl/TK : Passing arguments to the function while clicking submit button

why it is working when I called the function without argument

Presumably because \&function (without parentheses) is a reference to the function, while \&function(...) is a reference to whatever the called function returned.

#!/usr/bin/perl -l sub function { return "foo"; } $command = \&function; print $command; $command = \&function(); print "$command -> $$command"; __END__ $ ./833005.pl CODE(0x604fd0) SCALAR(0x604290) -> foo
