Hi Monks

I am stuck on this that seemed simple, but I can not see it.
I need to return the values from this sub inside of a module. I am printing a Dumper of
the data but is coming empty, can anyone help me on this?

Here is a code sample to show what is going on:
# modulo accounts #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $file = "test.txt"; my $accounts = account( file => $file, ); results( data => $accounts, ); sub account { ... return \@account; } sub results { ... my $results = \@data; return $results; } 1;

# script account.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use accounts; my $newdata = results(); print Dumper $newdata;
Thanks for the help!
