The following statement is causing the problems :-

*Line 10: @snmpSessions = (%snmpSession1, %snmpSession2);*

The statement should be

[EMAIL PROTECTED] = (\%snmpSession1, \%snmpSession2);*

Remember, arrays can contain only scaler values so in case you want contents
of some hashes etc in an array, you must use references.

Having said that, the following lines
*
** Line 11: foreach %snmpSession (@snmpSessions)
Line 12: {
Line 13:        # The following is call to my own subroutine that has been
tested and it works (:-)
Line 14:        &ethernetGlobalMode (\%snmpSession);
Line 15: }*

should change to
*
Line 11: foreach $snmpS (@snmpSessions)
Line 12: {
Line 13:        # The following is call to my own subroutine that has been
tested and it works (:-)
Line 14:        &ethernetGlobalMode ($snmpS);
Line 15: }*

Let us know in case you are facing more problems.
