Perl Security: 5. When using functions, remember...
Invoking functions

It's better to call a function() than a function

It may not look as clean and beautiful... But it is clearer for the programmer and for Perl.

You like &'s? Then avoid calling &functions - Call &function()s too

If you don't specify an empty parameter set, you will pass to it the invoking function's @_ - and that's rarely what you want:


sub func1 {
    &func2;
}

sub func2 {
    print @_;
}
