simple

return;

is slightly preferred for returning undef, as there is a very rare, but
 nasty bug one can hit with returning undef.
I.e., if the call site forces list-context and checks if something is
returned then the `return` works but return undef returns a single undef
element in a (defined) list, thus causing a false-positive fora check like
`if (my @foo = bar()) { ... }`.

As said, this is rather seldom and forced-list context is not that often
used so we do not need to clean up existing code, but for new one it makes
sense to default to a plain `return;` in such cases.
