Thus Spake Andy:

Function signatures can also contain a single %var parameter which defines a hash array to collect any other named parameters specified when the function is called. The @var defines a list to collect any additional positional (non-named) parameters. TT3 will do the right thing to make sure that all the arguments and parameters end up in the right place. It will raise an error if any mandatory parameters (i.e. a and b in this example) are not provided.
