Please read the 'Prototypes' section of perlsub.pod. Andrew had $data
prototyped as a reference to an array which is a scalar value. The
prototype '\\@' is an error and won't run. If you want to use @data
instead of $data then the prototype should be ($\@@) but that will copy
the entire array and not just a single scalar.
