I think Damian already covered this: it's the semicolon.
sub mysub(String $content; int $key, int $align)
{
...
}
sub callmysub
{
mysub("Testing .. 1, 2, 3!"; key => 1024, align => Module::RIGHT);
}
Which, upon reflection, apparently introduces an "implicit hashparsing"
context for autoquoting hashkeys.
