I ran the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
# Always use warnings and strict! They are very helpful in finding
bugs!
sub test {
my @pars = @_;
my $div = $pars[0] / $pars[1];
print "Pars were @_\n";
# I don't know why you put the '_' (underscore) in parens '(' ')' in
your code. I took them out.
print "Division was $div\n";
}
test (1,2,3,4,5);
This code ran fine on my machine. I could not reproduce your divide by
zero error. Are you sure you transcribed the function call exactly in
your original email?
I don't know about using the C++ code snippets. I bet that if you show
us your c++ code snippets, we can show you how to do it in Perl,
though!!
