Hello All,
We've been revamping alot of our older perl scripts and a question came up that I wasn't a 100% clear on. When calling sub routines, is there a significate difference in these formats:
1) some_subroutine(); 2) &some_subroutine;
This syntax has the special property that it passes the arguments of the current sub into the sub being called:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
sub a {
print 'a: ' . Dumper([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
&b;
}sub b {
print 'b: ' . Dumper([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}a(1,2,3);
__END__
3) &some_subroutine();
is one a more prefered or more effecient to use then the other(s)??
use (1)
