I have this call:

@users = @{GetUsers()};
map { $tk{user_list}->insert('end',
                 -itemtype=>'imagetext',
                 -text=>"$_",
                 -image=>$im{ONE}) } 
@users;

and the GetUsers subroutine is: 

sub GetUsers
{
    my $data;
    my $field;
    my @found;
    foreach my $item (@list)
    {
        while (my ($field, $data) = each %{$item})
        {
            next if $field !~ /account/i;
            if (Win32::NetAdmin::UsersExist('',$data))
            {
                print "This '$data' is a user account\n";
                push (@found, $data);
            }
        }
    }
    #return @found; # this does not return correctly.
    #return [qw/One Two Three/]; #this will return correctly.
}

Obviously I have a problem with returning an array, I need to return the @found array. I am not sure why the return qw/One Two Three/ works and the @found doesn’t.
