In my brand spanking new module, I'm trying to read in three
arguments with what I thought was a standard trick of using
shift
sub encode_string ($$$) {
my ($reg, $ass, $check) = @_;
return join $Delimiter, $reg, $ass, $check;
}
populates all three scalars,
but my ($reg, $ass, $check) = shift;
only populates the first one and the other two are undef.
Why? Is this something to do with having the sub in a module
and me shifting on the wrong list?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
