^^^^^^^^^^^^
Seriously? Why are you using this? It's a zillion years old and deprecated.
use CGI qw(param); instead
& executes a subroutine, If you simply define a routine they will not execute:
sub monkey { return "You are a monkey"; }
That will not ever do anything unless you call it:
print monkey();
print &monkey;
my $monkey = monkey;
Always do -w or use warnings; and use strict;
And use return values instead of setting vars you intend to use in a function
my $var = set_var_variable();
Instead of
&set_var_variable;
sub set_var_variable {
$var = "screwy";
}
