How is passing the array to the function by reference different from prefacing it with main::? (I'm not saying it's not, I really want to know)

You can use references, which I am quite pleased I even was able to do this myself since I've been trying to understand these lil buggers for sometime now. my @array1 = qw(1. this is array1); my @array2 = qw(2. this is array2); my @array3 = qw(3. this is array3); # The backslashes here indicate you are passing references to &functionname &functionname(\@array1,\@array2,\@array3); sub functionname { my $array1 = $_[0]; # note that we are using a scalar to store the reference my $array2 = $_[1]; my $array3 = $_[2]; print join(" - ",@array1),"\n"; # and then we de-reference the scalar print join(" - ",@array2),"\n"; print join(" - ",@array3),"\n"; } I hope I explained that properly. Anyone help me out on that one? >Sheridan > > >-- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Jim Philosophy is for those who have nothing better to do than wonder why philosophy is for those who have nothing better to do than... mQGiBDxAonQRBACx+sz63XIeo5uTzc5n3Elf7Y13VVZGIM8Pilp3LpBu70/nGQPu anKYDB3aa1U5cfl+cTK5lOtUxN7Fu0a2Uv0ApIlC1qA8CjDZqlu7PDETFTVrpfGZ 007BHO+y2Y0bVsaMPXdnhbi0LAFSIkNYRhyzNWbAkeMsgA+i2k9hcnhvVwCgor7P nflXu7xWN9aWt3RJBzqdUR0EAK/1obJFUKQSK39cKTMPQ4u2UPflbS5dJ871naG5 xBAlQAjHAXT+f/fXE2ezrSyoQnlOD4kVbPN3gB5UT5mWoylPuf5W7WmupthVzUUN IsPDbmAT0YOwgALCfJVS+PrPCC8opmZhTjQBwgxCSY9MWULlzN3X2EEDqWIxluYb o5W/BACgHA+aFOO5F03QZBBScWn9YBS1ZH3sSlkQEK5RiwGXLmHJacOjn660SbOE MEKPDLDDJu/vt1fb3VRLc/fPB3aB7fi4XagfobaHbID9rx55slLhD94Q+5JuJSfg DyJ+vVSA1k+9/SynflPl0QY5zt0xSM+0CBg9mBg2bPyuGsDwXLQ5SmltIENvbm5l ciAoTmV3IEdQRyBLZXkgZm9yIFNuYWZ1WCkgPGpjb25uZXJAZW50ZXJpdC5jb20+ iFcEExECABcFAjxAonQFCwcKAwQDFQMCAxYCAQIXgAAKCRDmnFh04+r7ZdFiAKCh t8Vq7ZT6qvh9Dzn0lzZXRM4gywCfSLU/H5UHX7ZoxapfDs9pLxEEZeO5Ag0EPECj chAIAIsdwiPqW8IsumvpXu59qkfsi4H2nofxvbhMDiapEhgloydehNQOEiHwC/O1 a06PjUmNRLRdK88kjy99R84ILbWUJZUclQB2LcjlttnrIG/FzCMxoLTKOeOCJk8N ONswBdJdcf/XqbWJBTs/MXeNf4rmShYi6WJ5+jc1IE5PXGf4SR/9bz2r+/GESlrX tAoNtWl5a/NUxb6b0hR6zU9Y6oO1vpDDJNbcV9mafdYhsvoFYdD2c6JF+JoN+FHR tEP3k6leYwQ5P0kuUQNgWdWNWZfBq1tQDBfhg1/AV0JBzamyJfd0prFmtUEemKx4 haDsOoT4gLSPNTqSsyDt6TNLtGMAAwUIAINeot1FVpree5bvhy3xL+Pr1UGb++DM b8Qeer6ERkVQNx7YoU8hfpqOwvEQMyfb9s6HPfSWRUfQRF+g+9ohPgYkH+1nqH3V PtGSw1kgLOqxZQTVPEcAMhSflt9LSJETIQQByKKh1e5RvOuApwBFmQq3syRhzqv/ j2b6t3IqAB9WR5TnoYkdUtTWM9MGubiFl5B9uH5EHWAlFF8h760U7Xp9m1J3qTyH EJqjfGj2SP2DK5cisuWOWdPy5aSqT7ZKrcKeSTDUyiHclI1ygFHue8oO0HXqrs+k KjFdRqIKnzfY9gW/b/6gLHhBDV6BoA9w6+1Y9egOByRcVonE8zY/xMeIRgQYEQIA BgUCPECjcgAKCRDmnFh04+r7ZcyDAJ4ogYX7W4u8g+QJsksyL4Ld+dObCwCfU7hB 7I3ZgTsYwP6mr5RPjkH5PG8= =QOu8 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
