passing an array as an argument to a subroutine

2002-02-06 Thread Charles Knell
I need to pass an array as one of three arguments to a subroutine. Once inside the subroutine, the array contains only the first item (index 0) instead of the whole array. It is the third argument, so I have attempted to retrieve the array's elements by assigning @_[2] to another array variable

When calling the subroutine, you pass the array as reference: subroutine( \@array, $param2, $param3 ); sub subroutine { my ($array, $param2, $param3) = @_; my $My3rdValue = $array-[2];# reference have the third item of array } Note this is the same way

Charles, You could tryr a pointer/reference to the array... Parent script... snip # PARSE: Parse out the CGI parameters... parseArgs(*cgiArgs); /snip Then within the sub, just setup a local variable to grab the pointer... snip # sub parseArgs { local (*argsCGI) = @_ if @_; local

Charles, I think that you will want to pass the list or array using a reference. Here is a code example: sub Depth($) { my $Self = shift; my @List = (); _Depth($Self,\@List); # Pass as a reference return(@List); } sub _Depth($$) { unless (ref $_[1] eq 'ARRAY')

What are the first two arguments? How is your code configured currently? The best way is probably passing by reference, as noted by others. But one thing to note is that @_[2] is one element of the @_ array (ok, technically it's a slice, which consists only of the element with index 2 (aka the

Eric, My first gut feeling on this is folder security. I would check that the IUSR_servername and/or Guest access for the folders and subfolders for the adlibsentinal.exe program has at least Read access. Where servername is the name of the machine...I could be wrong about the exact name of the

It's not clear exactly what your having problems with. Include example code if you want better advice. You'll need to use references or prototypes if you're trying to pass multiple arrays and/or hashes to a subroutine. Chapter 2 of the camel book (pp 111-121 in my copy) goes into details
