Ick! Shades of Pascal! Why don't we just replace "return $value"
with "subroutine_name = $value;"!

Seriously, what is the point of 

    sub func1
    {
        func2();
    }
    
    sub func2
    {
        last func1;
    }
    
?  Imho, it is a BAD THING for functions to know who called them,
and to vary their behavior accordingly.
