Put this line as the last line executed in your subroutine:
return $sum;
That makes it explicit as to what you want the subroutine to do. Don’t depend
upon some obscure behavior of Perl to save a few keystrokes. Your program will
be better for it.

I have a subroutine that (almost) ends with this loop:
foreach my $line (@lines) {
$sum += evaluate($line);
}
What I want to return i
