Closer examination revealed that the value of @_ varies depending on how the function is called.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Hook::LexWrap; use Data::Dumper; sub get { return "Foo!" } wrap get, post => sub { print Dumper(\@_) }; my @n = get(); my $n = get(); get();
And the output -
$VAR1 = [ [ 'Foo!' ] ]; $VAR1 = [ 'Foo!' ]; $VAR1 = [ bless( sub { "DUMMY" }, 'Hook::LexWrap::Cleanup' ) ];
Looking at the documentation, the author states that:
In a post-wrapper, $_[-1] contains the return value produced by the wrapped subroutine. In a scalar return context, this value is the scalar return value. In an list return context, this value is a reference to the array of return values. $_[-1] may be assigned to in a post-wrapper, and this changes the return value accordingly.
What the author didn't mention is that in a void context, $_[-1] is the object. Thus giving you the error in 'warn'.
