Re^5: More efficient dereferencing of a subroutine return

in reply to Re^4: More efficient dereferencing of a subroutine return
in thread More efficient dereferencing of a subroutine return

This also works and is 'shorter', although I would not say more maintainable:

>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dump -le
"sub fillArrays {
   my( $r1, $r2 ) = @_;
   @$r1 = qw(one two three);
   @$r2 = qw(four five six seven);
   }
 ;;
 fillArrays( \my (@arr1, @arr2) );
 ;;
 dd \@arr1, \@arr2;
"
(["one", "two", "three"], ["four", "five", "six", "seven"])

Thanks to all of you. I am going to stick to the "keep it simple, stupid" philosophy even though it is more lines and typing. I appreciate everyones' replies.	[reply]
