This module is written in Perl 5 and is called in a program written in Perl 5. In the work I've done in this project, I've taken the approach to return values which I think is more Perlish, namely, if a subroutine completes and does what you wanted it to, it should return a true value. A bare return returns an undef, which in Perl is false. False values (whether empty string, empty list, 0 or undef) should indicate some unsatisfactory completion of the subroutine.
Having these subs end in a bare return to me connotes an unsatisfactory outcome of some sort. That's why I did not have them end in bare returns, and it's why I object to the changes that were made yesterday. Thank you very much. kid51
