Im still learning so this is a very low-level question. I just would like to understand what's going on here please. here is my code: 

#! /usr/bin/perl
 
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.14.0;
 
sub display
{       
    foreach(@_)
    {       
        print "$_\n"
        }

}
 
my @numberSet = 1..10;
 
print "\n show all the elements!\n". &display(@numberSet) ;

as you can you see, I want the output to print "show all the elements" and then display all the elements of the array using the subroutine. But the subroutine runs first and then the print happens. Why is this ?

 show all the elements!
