Well, what exactly is the value of $av_equip and $date_slide at this

Yes, you can call subroutines either way, with or without the "&".
The only case when the subroutine must be prefixed with an
ampersand is, I believe, when you're assigning a reference
variable, eg:
$reference_x = \&subroutine_y;
But that's another story.
