Why doesn't RETURN work?

[Gross, Stephan]

I have a subroutine
 
sub xyz
{
 
    if ($a = $b)
    {
           return;
    }
}
 
When I run this in the debugger, it stays frozen on the RETURN statement.
Shouldn't the RETURN break out of the xyz subroutine? 
Also, this used to work until I made some changes.  Am I missing something
obvious?
 
Steve
