there is a difference between the function exit:
perldoc -f exit
and a sub you have defined by your own. even if you re-use a name of a
build-in. thats why you called exit via &exit; and not exit; or exit();
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
sub exit(){
print "sub exit called\n";
}
&exit;
&exit();
if ($ARGV[0] == 1) {
exit; # way 1
}else {
exit(); # way 2
}
