I'll elaborate 
sub fudge($){ print @_ }

[download]
that is a function declaration -- it doesn't print anything 
fudge(1);
fudge 2;

[download]
those are function calls, it prints 1 then prints 2

If you wrote 

fudge 1,2;

[download]
the prototype ($) ensures fudge only gets 1 argument

If you try to force the issue with 

fudge(1,2);

[download]
You'll get an error 
$ perl  -le " sub fudge($){print @_}  fudge(1,2);
Too many arguments for main::fudge at -e line 1, near "2)"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

Next time, when you get links, follow them, read them, its what we all do :)
