I am running v5.12 and am trying to pass multiple args to a subroutine. Is this possible in v5.12? Here is my code 

###################################################
#                                                 #
#   2/24/21                                       #
#      Program takes finds the average in an      #
#      array and lists out the numbers that were  #
#      above the average found.                   #
#                                                 #
###################################################


   my @numbers = qw(4 12 18 21 35);
   my $average = &find_average(@numbers);
   print "The average found for this list is: $average \n " ;
   my @high_avg = &above_average($average, @numbers);
   print "The numbers that were found above average are: @high_avg \n"
+;

   sub find_average  {
      my ($sum, $number_count) ;
      foreach (@_) {
         $sum += $_;
         $number_count += 1;
      }
    my $avg = $sum / $number_count ;
   }

   sub above_average  {
       my $average_num;
       my @final_list;
       foreach  $_ (@_) {
         if ($_ > $average_num) {
            push @final_list, $_
         }
       }
    }

Here is the error message I am getting

+4_Ex3.pl line 36.
