Re: eval'ing coderef with ampersand

... and just as an addendum to jwkrahn's reply, prototyping is not used in and has no bearing on the behavior of any of the OPed statements.

Update: This may also throw some light on what is happening:

>perl -wMstrict -le
"sub S { print 's' }
 print '[', eval \S, ']';
 print $@;
"
s
[]
Undefined subroutine &main::SCALAR called at (eval 1) line 1.
