You should either pass the array as a reference (best way), or just grab up the entire @_. Keep in mind that if you pass an array and any scalars as arguments, they will all be flattened out into @_, as a single list. This is why passing a reference is better, to differentiate lists and scalars. SomeFunction([qw(one two three)]); sub SomeFunction { my $array = shift; foreach(@{$array}) { print "$_\n"; } } -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Removing the straw that broke the camel's back does not necessarily allow the camel to walk again.Thread Previous | Thread Next
