Line 154:
The perl scripting language allows prototypes to be checked during JIT compilation. Prototypes should be placed before subroutine definitions, declarations, or anonymous subroutines. The sigil [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Special_characters#Perl special symbols] act as argument type placeholders.
 
<lang perl>sub noargs(); # Declare a function with no arguments that returns an integer
sub twoargs($$); # Declare a function with two scalar arguments. The two sigils act as argument type placeholders
