Hi Monks!

I have an issue where I am passing some values to a sub routine and I can only see the values been passed if they are passed like it is in my sample code  sub send_1 - I just can not see to understand why it wont work on both. Any thoughts?
Here is a code to show how I am passing to the subs.

...

send_1(  name => $name, filehandle => $pic, id => 'test' );

send_2( { name => $name, filehandle => $pic, id => 'test'} );

 
sub send_1 {

    my (%args) = @_;
   
    my $name = $args{ name } || '';
    my $filehandle = $args{ filehandle } || '';
    my $id = $args{ id } || '';

}

sub send_2 {

  my $name = $_[0] || '';
  my $filehandle = $_[1] || '';
  my $id = $_[2] || '';

}
