Hi Monks,

I have few confusion is as follows. It would be very helpfull if you clear.

I have perl file name a.pl 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use b;
MAIN: {
my $value;
b::test($value);
print "\nVALUE = $value\n";
}

[download]

b.pm has following code.

package b;
print "\nINSIDE-PACKAGE\n";

sub test {
my ($value) = @_;
$value="This is value return from sub\n";
return $value;   ## If I comment this
}
1;

[download]

This code is working well and the return $value also printing.

My doubt is, if I comment return $value;, the return will not print. Is there any option to print if I don't use return

Please sugget me..

Thanks!!!
Rose
