Hi, I keep getting the following error message: "shift on reference is experimental at beta_table_maker line 27. Not an ARRAY reference at beta_table_maker line 27, <FILEHANDLE> line 1". How can I solve this? Thanks in advance 

 
my($counter) = 0;
my(@AoA);
while (@ARGV){
    my($filename) = $ARGV[$counter];
    open (FILEHANDLE, $filename);
    my(@tmp) = <FILEHANDLE>;
    shift $tmp[0];
    push @AoA, [ @tmp ];
    close FILEHANDLE;
    $counter++;
    }

my ($aref) = '';
foreach $aref (@AoA){
    print "\t [ @$aref ],\n";
    }
