But I like it (Score:1)

by Aristotle (5147)

I get a lot of milage out of implicit return – I write many functions that consist of a single expression (disregarding parameter parsing), which read much nicer that way.

Maybe precisely because I use it so purposefully, I am always keenly aware that subs always return something, and so when writing subs that aren’t supposed to, I usually put a bare return in there.

  I do this too, as can be seen in my code on CPAN. I just would like a strict mode to turn it off.
