Lets see, some regular used feature in Perlk is to use the return
value of a funktion thats stored in $_ or somthing.
Example:
You call a funktion that return something, than one that doesn't and
then you return $_, which would be the result of the first function.
Lets translate that to C:
void bla();
int foo();
int main() {
foo();
bla();
return;
}
That might even work with a very broken C compiler and spezial
functions foo and bla, but "gcc -O2 -W -Wall" will not let you do that
without screaming off your head.
May the Source be with you.
