>how is the (PROTO) operator in 'sub NAME (PROTO) {' supposed to be useful ?
Prototypes are only useful:
1. when the function is prototyped BEFORE it is called,
2. when the function is called without an &, and
3. when the function is not a method of an object.
See the documentation for prototypes. Chances are, you don't need them.
