    Any arguments passed in show up in the array @_.  Therefore, if you ca
    +lled a function with two arguments, those would be stored in $_[0] an
    +d $_[1].  The array @_ is a local array, but its elements are aliases
    + for the actual scalar parameters.  In particular, if an element $_[0
    +] is updated, the corresponding argument is updated (or an error occu
    +rs if it is not updatable).
