Not a big worry. It just means there's a
package Math::Complex;
sub sqrt()
{
...
}
in one place and one w/o parens
sub sqrt
{
...
}
elsewhere. The empty parens end up being treated as a subroutine prototype
(see perldoc perlsub) saying "no parameters" while the second allows the
same thing but doesn't enforce it via a prototype. I believe there's a way
to turn on warnings but have it ignore prototype mismatches, if that'd
help. I'd have to google that though.
