Except that this can also break things. Witness:
sub optimal {
my ($first) = @_;
...
}
If you remove the parens there, you break the subroutine, as it will
be getting the number of arguments, not the first argument.
Rather than having a rule like "always" or "never" there, you should
understand precisely what it is you are doing. And do the right thing.
