Yes, that would work, because it bypasses prototype checking. Bypassing
prototype checking is probably not a good idea, the prototypes are there
for a reason.

The prototype on the subroutine is (\$$). This means the first scalar value
gets enreferenced automatically by Perl, it doesn't mean you need to pass in
a scalar reference. You should be calling it thusly:
isPresent($req, $user);
