Say I have an array of hashes like this:

@response = [
          {
            'name' => 'foo',
            'id' => 'bar',
            'self' => 'baz'
          },
            
          {
           'name' => 'foo2',
            'id' => 'bar2',
            'self' => 'baz2'
          },
       ]

Now I have a subroutine called filter which I call like this:

my $responseref = \@response; 
my $filtered_response = filter ($responseref, 'name', 'id');

How would the subroutine need to look to get an array reference as return value of which the array would look like:

 
@response = [
          {
            'name' => 'foo',
            'id' => 'bar',
          },
            
          {
           'name' => 'foo2',
            'id' => 'bar2',
          },
       ]

Ideally it should work without installing any additional modules
It should also be pretty generic, it should for example be able take a different amount of fields to filter through every time
