Not proven; you cannot assume this.

One school of thought about programming is that all functions must have
only one return and all programs must have only one exit.  Therefore,
help() may return or it may not.

Until you actually see the help() sub, you don't know if it returns.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
