Note that pop() is just a special case of splice(), so using pop() should
work to remove the last element in an array.
You mention passing a reference to a sub, but your pop() call doesn't
dereference. A sub to remove the last element from an array would look like:
sub remove_last
{
my $aref = shift;
pop @$aref; # note dereference
}
