All blocks must end with semicolon, unless last statement #44

[Edit: added all blocks.]

Because subroutines are considered Statements and Statements use Semicolon between them, the following fails:

sub foo () {...}
sub bar () {...}

Instead, it has to be written this way:

sub foo () {...};
sub bar () {...};

This also affects if() conditions:

if ($foo) {1}                          # ok
if ($foo) {1} foo()                    # not ok
if ($foo) {1}; foo()                   # ok
if ($foo) {1} elsif ($bar) {2} foo();  # not ok
if ($foo) {1} elsif ($bar) {2}; foo(); # ok

Hum... I think this will cause riots, asking for your head on a pike.
