Hi Monks

I have created a package to export an array. I use the array in another package in a hash reference. In a test script, I use the Data::Dumper module, but the exported array doesn't want to print. How do I go about this?

Here is the code in the package:

package My_Stuff;

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
require Exporter;

use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw (@ary);

my  @ary = (
           rec_length    =>      'A4',
           fname        =>      'A20',
        lname           =>      'A20',
);

1;

Here is the second package

package Record_Stuff;

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use My_Stuff;


my $rec_struct = [
    @ary,
    title        =>      'A4',
         initials    =>      'A3',
         street        =>      'A40',
];
sub get_record_structure {
    return $rec_struct;
}
1;

Here is the script to test it

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use Record_Stuff;

print Dumper Record_Stuff::get_record_structure();

This is what I get printed out

$VAR1 = [
        title,
        'A4',
         initials,
        'A3',
         street,
        'A40',
];
