Re^2: Best practices for passing in function arguments?

Hi,
I guess my question is: Does it make sense to pass in an array that contains only one item (a ref to a hash). That array will always have only 1 item.

Or is it better to directly pass in the hash array (Scenario 2)

Thanks

Will the subroutine ever be expected to perform its task on a list of hashes? Then an array would make sense. Otherwise it seems a needless complication. Which is repeating what I said before. It's your subroutine; YOU figure out how you want to use it. Dum Spiro Spero	[reply]

Hi, The processing of the list of hashes is handled in bar(), not foo(). I think scenario 2 is makes more sense, but just wanted to see what others think. Thanks --Andrew	[reply]
