'print' is a statement, thus is doesn't use parenthesis.  If you put
them there, you are not calling a function, but rather (possibly)
adjusting order of operations while creating a sub expression.

When calling a function, the parenthesis tell the compiler that you
want to call it.  Function calls always need parens.  This is
consistency, not perl <wink>.
