Not sure it is *the* reason, but the return type is part of the signature of a
bloc
sub x( --> Hash) { my %h = A => 'a' }
1) '-->' in the signature is the best way to provide information to the
compiler about what the subroutine should return
2) 'returns' in the declaration (not the part in the block) used to be
used, but for some arcane reason that I never really understood

The preferred syntax is:
sub x(--> Hash) {...}
See that in the docs.
Larry Wall once warned that the "return..." syntax may be removed at
