RE: returning more than 1 scalar from a subroutine

[Joshua Colson]

sub return_scalars {
        $scal1 = 5;             Assign values to scalars somehow
        $scal2 = 7;
        return \$scal1, \$scal2;
}

($test_scalar1, $test_scalar2) = &return_scalars();

Subject: returning more than 1 scalar from a subroutine


hi,

Is there any way to return 2 or 3 scalar variables from a subroutine (like
passing a variable by reference in C)?

I would like to avoid returning an array, if possible, because it makes
the script very non-intuitive. 

Thanks
