It also turns off checking of subroutine prototypes. It's easily confused with the bitwise 'and' operator. @result = &some_function(); # not ok @result = some_function(); # ok =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005-2011 Imaginative Software Systems.
