share/PerlCritic/Critic/Policy/Subroutines/RequireFinalReturn.pm view on Meta::CPAN
Subroutines without explicit return statements at their ends can be
confusing. It can be challenging to deduce what the return value will
be.
Furthermore, if the programmer did not mean for there to be a
significant return value, and omits a return statement, some of the
subroutine's inner data can leak to the outside. Consider this case:
package Password;
# every time the user guesses the password wrong, its value
# is rotated by one character
my $password;
sub set_password {
$password = shift;
}
sub check_password {
my $guess = shift;
if ($guess eq $password) {
unlock_secrets();
} else {
$password = (substr $password, 1).(substr $password, 0, 1);
}
}
1;
In this case, the last statement in check_password() is the
assignment. The result of that assignment is the implicit return
value, so a wrong guess returns the right password! Adding a
C<return;> at the end of that subroutine solves the problem.
The only exception allowed is an empty subroutine.
Be careful when fixing problems identified by this Policy; don't
blindly put a C<return;> statement at the end of every subroutine.

You're probably right, mine's just the same but with the cream added to the

received more than 800 reports of big cat sightings.
“During the first six months we have seen an incredible amount of big cat
activity. We have now had reports in every single county; the response from
the public has been fantastic,” Mr Bamping said. “Big cats in Britain are
real. They are out there, they are breeding; there’s more of them.”
Scotland and Gloucestershire are said to be hotspots of big cat activity. Mark
Fraser, who heads the society’s Scottish arm, said: “Lynx are now present in
the Scottish countryside; I believe they are established and breeding. I don’t
want to hazard a guess at the numbers; suffice it to say there are several
hotspots, notably Fife, Aberdeenshire, Inverness and the Borders.”
Next month the society plans to unveil its full dossier of evidence, which
includes two dead wild cats, pictures of paw prints and tree scratchings, as
well as stories of a horse strangely lacerated in West Wales and a man in
Gravesham, Kent, who had to beat a hasty retreat to his garage after his hand
was cut by a creature the size of a labrador dog, except that it had black
hairy tufts on the tips of its ears.

I don't think so: it should be getting a stream of PS from stdin,
but it's not. The printing/spooling system is executing gs but
somehow failing to provide it with input.

That might clarify that the later part of the system works, but I
suspect the problem is earlier.

Usually if you enable DMA on a CDROM that can't handle it gracefully you
won't be able to read data off it relably, and that's about it. No

My biggest beef with automatically setting /dev/dvd is that I always
seem to have a CD-Burner and a DVD drive (or DVD burner) in the same
box, and I usually have the DVD as the second drive /dev/cdrom1 in
"kudzu-speak". I agree that the %description is the best place for the
tip. Unless someone can come up with a way to probe CD/DVD drives to
divulge their largest supported media size without loading ide-scsi or
having that media currently in the drive.

This does nothing to answer my question. I *do* care about content. Hell,
if I could be convinced that people would send stupid pics back and forth
all day, I'd have a different opinion of this. I just am not convinced
that they will (stupid or not).
While a picture may be worth a thousand words (and this is the same
argument the guy who works for me made), how many people do you know who
communicate by pictures? Sure, it sounds nice to say that a picture is

people would want to do this. Sure, if they integrate cameras into the
phone, and the quality improves (even only marginally) I can certainly see
people taking pictures with their cameras and occasionally sending them to
other people. But, mostly, I don't see what the benefit is to this over
sending them to someone's email address, or putting together an online (or
offline) photoalbum.
I don't think 1 hour photos are trivial. People want to see their own pics
right away, and the quality is plenty good enough for snapshots. That's
one of the main reasons why digital cameras are catching on. The instant
view part. I'm guessing your argument is that people not only want
"instant view", but also "instant show". Which is what this service
offers. I'm not convinced that most people want "instant show". I think
people like to package their pictures and show them. That's why people put
together fancy albums, and sit there and force you to go through them while
they explain every picture. Sure, occasionally "instant show" is nice, but
it's just "nice" on occasion. I still can't see how it becomes a integral
messaging method.
What's the specific benefit of taking a picture and immediately sending it
from one phone to another? There has to be *some* benefit, even if it's

If you want to do http, C gets pretty muddy (curl is about the best
choice I've found) but I grant you that: No language is the be-all and
end-all.
I envy some of those posting to this list. I've been in business for
24 years and I haven't yet had the luxury of writing every line of
code for any project. We are always coerced by budgets and time to
maximize the amount of work done elsewhere.
As much as I hate dealing with someone else's blackbox, as much as
I've spent sleepless nights second-guessing external libs, I've never
ever had the luxury to do otherwise. It must be wonderful to be
responsible for something you are actually responsible for, and I am
so sick of being blamed for other people's design mistakes.
Maybe there's an archive somewhere I need to know about, but I've been

Uh, zero. I'm sort of offended at having to take this question seriously,
like being black and having to actually explain that black people don't
all sing and dance. I'd guess that gay men compared to straight men have
a linearly greater number of sexual partners on the order of 1.5-2X. But
then again, it not a monolithic or homogeneous community. Who knows?
3K is utter shite.

Pelley: Do you look back on the Afghan campaign with any doubts?
Certainly, we’ve overthrown the Taliban government. Certainly, al Qaeda
has been scattered. But some of the Taliban leaders appear to have
gotten away. And there have been many civilian casualties as well.
Mr. Bush: Uh huh. Well, you know, I am sad that civilians lost their
life. But I understand war. We did everything we can to — everything we
could to protect people. When civilians did die, it was because of a
mistake. Certainly not because of intention. We liberated a country for
which I’m extremely proud. No, — I don’t second guess things. It’s —
things never go perfect in a time of war.
Pelley: Are you committed to ending the rule of Saddam Hussein?
Mr. Bush: I’m committed to regime change.
Pelley: There are those who have been vocal in their advice against war
in Iraq. Some of our allies in the Gulf War, Saudi Arabia, Turkey for
example. Even your father’s former national security advisor, Mr.
Scowcroft has written about it in the paper. What is it in your

As I've had to resubscribe to fork and fork-noarchive,
I guess I have to reintroduce myself. I'm formerly
known as gbolcer at endtech dot com to the FoRK
mailman program, formerly an overposter, and love
soaking up bits through avid reading or scanning
of almost every single list that's got informative to say.
Hopefully all those overpost will get cleared out at
somepoint and fork-archived.

An aside (okay, yes, I'm a tool geek): Speed Dating
Speed Dating (aka 7 Minute Dating) is a live-action stab at actual time in
the company of a variety of people, compressed into one event. I think
it's noticably better, but still absolutely nothing like working on a
project together, cooking, climbing a mountain or whatever.
It was, in fact, invented as a jewish thing seeking to match up the young
people to avoid total assimilation. It has too much "interview" context
and no shared activity beyond that. I give it several points for effort
though.
I guess my impression that even the Speed Dating thing doesn't do much for
you means that the traditional advice of "join activities groups" is
actually sound.

Sure - discussion in Forbes - rigorous research, that. Especially when
the data in their own list
contradicts them. I continue to look at the list and all the "inherited,
growed" entries. I guess if
I read it enough times my vision will clear.

"invented" being the right word. Dubya went to Yale and HBS. I guess
"practically" gets you
around that problem.

could maintain that (and prosper) just says
volumes about the economy in this part of the world. I met many people
there, like me, who felt that was fine, I can vote
with my feet. They didn't quite realize that just about every large
employer in the area has similar, or worse, policies. Anyway
eventually they started a union drive. During the vote, retired
employees were brought in by the employer (rumours were
that they were paid the going rate for a vote around here - a bottle of
rum) and somehow allowed to vote . The union filed
a grievance - which was denied - by a Minister of Labour, who, hey,
guess what - used to be a VP at the company.
That's free labor markets at work. The business continues to prosper -
as I was told when I was there - it is a cash cow as long
as the JOA (Joint Operating Agreement) with the competing paper is in
place.
And if you think that any of those wonderful American companies, out of
some free-enterprise belief in competing for the best talent,
are going to do anything about that, sorry, most of them received
generous subsidies, in return, I'm sure, for an understanding about
the labor markets here.

I usually agree - but when there's a Republican in office - I feel like
they're the biggest believers in
the Manifesto, in reverse. Create a reserve pool of labor, reduce the
rights of that "proletariat" you've
just created with bogus "law and order" policies , concentrate capital
in the hands of a few (ideally people
who can get you reelected) and the economy will take care of itself. Oh,
and lie - use
the word "compassionate" a lot. I guess I tend to believe that a certain
amount of poverty reduction actually
helps a modern capitalist state - the basic economic tenet of the
Republic party seems to be the more homeless under
each overpass, the more efficient the rest of us will be.
And the facts are, for most people in the Western world are declining
standards of living, declining benefits, disappearing social safety net,
greater working hours, essentially since the entrance of women into the
work force (not blaming women in any way, they have a right
to work but its now 2 wage-earners in each family and still declining

But Colossus was not for Enigma. The bombes used for Enigma were
electro-mechanical. I'm not aware of any application of optical techniques
to Enigma, unless they were done in the US and are still classified. And
clearly, the first bulk breaks of Enigma were done by the bombes, so I
guess it depends whether you count bombes as computers or not, whether this
statement has any credibility at all.
