Do we really want to make that a requirement?  Making sure that there is
a return clause if a subroutine returns a result makes sense to me, but
making it mandatory if the subroutine does not return anything and
callers don't expect it do is not really a gain in my opinion.  And this
maps with any C code.

Just today, I coded a perl subroutine which does not return any
results...  This is most likely going to be forgotten.
