Here begins my problems with prototypes. Let's try this sample script:
sub generate_report_html([EMAIL PROTECTED]@);

This is not the same. A '$' in the subroutine prototype means a scalar, any scalar, while '\@' means that the argument must start with '@' and it will be passed to the subroutine as an array reference.
