Hi all,
Can somebody please explain what is the difference between:
sub subroutine {
my $var = @_;
...
return 1;
}
and:
sub subroutine {
my ($var) = @_;
...
return 1;
}
I think it's something related to the context but I'm not completely
sure. What I know is that to have the behaviour I want I have to declare
the variable like in the second example (with parentheses).
This confuses me a bit because it's not the way I usually declare
variables in my main program (that is, without parentheses).
Please assume I'm 5 years old.
Thanks,
