Hi Monks,

my Google-Fu so far didn't produce any results for my question so I'm trying to obtain the answer here. :)
To keep it simple I creates a small test script. I'm creating a new array and give a reference of it to a function which simply prints the array elements.
Now I want to do the same for a reverse sorted array (basially reverse @array) without having to save the reverse output into a second array but so far I'm struggling to do that. 
use strict;
use warnings;
sub blubb($)
{
        my $array_ref = shift;
        for(my $i = 0; $i <= $#$array_ref; ++$i)
        {
                print "$i $array_ref->[$i]\n";
        }
}
my @array = (1, 2, 3);
blubb(\@array);

Now I could simply do: 
my @array2 = reverse @array;
blubb(\@array2);

My question is: Is there a way to do this without @array2 ?
Can I use blubb() directly with the reverse sorted @array ?

So far I haven't been able to come up with the syntax for this. :(

Thanks a lot in advance.
