Using a subroutine is a performance thing. Perl inlines subroutines that
  just return a constant so this should allow for better optimisation
than checking variables. I've no idea what difference it actually makes.

Simon is steadily improving the diagnostics but at present I still think
there's no substitute for adding warn or print statements at all places
that are important to you.
