Don't use commas inside a qw

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Indent   = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 0;

sub criteria {
   return  qw/ 1 3 5 7 9 /;
}

my @array_result = criteria();
print Dumper [EMAIL PROTECTED];

sub criteria {

I was going to do

sub criteria {
 my @array = qw/1,3,5,7,9/;
}

but was wondering if I can do without if i was calling the sub like this


my @array_result = criteria();

??
actually qw/ 1 3 5 7 9/;  i was wrongly adding commas there.. sorry abou 
thtis post.. disregard please.
