Consider: print Dumper( \@_ );

I chose Data::Dumper::Simple <http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/Data-Dumper-Simple-0.11/lib/Data/Dumper/Simple.pm> which has such sentence in the documentation: ‘Note that there's no need to even take a reference to the variables.’ Therefore I expected that filters used in the D::D::S uses references somehow automatically. Is this guess wrong?


   my($animals, $digits) = @_;

   my @animals = @$animals; # dereference
   my @digits = @$digits;   # dereference

The comment is inaccurate.

Why would you want to copy the arrays?

Because I don't want to change an array by my subroutine, as Shawn H Corey answered already.

Well, this may or may not be eventual's intention, apt remark.


Best regards,
Karol
