Why?

The other things are cosmetic, but this is functional, and most people
who say this have a misunderstanding of what prototypes are for in
Perl, so when I hear it from you, alarm bells go off in my head.

I'd like to suggest that in such constructions you omit the trailing semicolon:

	if ($x) 
	{ do_something() }

instead of

	if ($x) 
	{ do_something(); }
