I am sort of a beginner to Perl here and I am having problems converting ARRAY() output to string. The code below is a program which computes All subsets (of a set) with a given sum. The only issue is it prints the results in ARRAY() form instead of strings. Does anyone know how to convert ARRAY() --> string? 

 sub Solve
{
  my ($goal, $elements) = @_;

  # For extra speed, you can remove this next line

  my (@results, $RecursiveSolve, $nextValue);

  $RecursiveSolve = sub {
    my ($currentGoal, $included, $index) = @_;

    for ( ; $index < @$elements; ++$index) {
      $nextValue = $elements->[$index];
      # Since elements are sorted, there's no point in trying a
      # non-final element unless it's less than goal/2:
      if ($currentGoal > 2 * $nextValue) {
        $RecursiveSolve->($currentGoal - $nextValue,
                          [ @$included, $nextValue ],
                          $index + 1);
      } else {
        print "@$_\n", [ @$included, $nextValue ]
            if $currentGoal == $nextValue;
        return if $nextValue >= $currentGoal;
      }
    } # end for
  }; # end $RecursiveSolve

  $RecursiveSolve->($goal, [], 0);
  undef $RecursiveSolve; # Avoid memory leak from circular reference
  return @results;
} # end Solve


my @results = Solve(869, [15, 43, 51, 56, 60, 67, 122, 152, 193, 204, 
+229, 271, 293, 301]
);

The code prints:

 ARRAY(0x2829430)
ARRAY(0x2829148)
ARRAY(0x28291c0)
ARRAY(0x28291a8)
ARRAY(0x2829418)
ARRAY(0x2829190)
ARRAY(0x2828c68)
ARRAY(0x2828c50)
ARRAY(0x28291c0)
ARRAY(0x28291a8)
ARRAY(0x2828e78)
ARRAY(0x2828bf0)
ARRAY(0x2828e60)
ARRAY(0x2828bf0)

which is not understandable. Thanks for help!
