In writing a Perl script I used a subroutine CHECK() and had to
change it because it seems to be a reserved name -- it appears
syntax-coloured blue unlike any of my other subroutines. I do not
generally use the & prefix to run a subroutine, incidentally. That's
probably very very bad, but doesn't seem to be at the root of my
problem.

I can run this without an error:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
CHECK();

though goodness knows what it means, but

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
&CHECK();

throws an error (Undefined subroutine).

Both are coloured.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
