my $return = passArrayToMe(@array)
and your definition will go something like this:
sub passArrayToMe {
my @array = @_;
}
but if you need to pass other variables as well then you will need to pass an array reference, the reference being the key here, so:
my $return = passArrayRefToMe(\@array)
and the definition being:
sub passArrayRefToMe {
my $arrayref = shift;
}
or
my $return = passArrayRefToMe($someVar, \@array, $someOtherVar);
definition like:
sub passArrayRefToMe {
my @args = @_;
}
where args[0] is $someVar value
where args[1] is the reference to the @array
where args[2] is $someOtherVar value
