Are there any differences between these two idioms if only one or zero arguments are passed to them?
my ($mode) = @_; my $mode = shift; If so, why would you chose one over the other? It seems to me that they behave exactly the same for this purpose, but maybe there's a subtle difference that I'm not aware of.
