I found a neat little trick in Effective Perl Programming, but it doesn't pass 'strict refs'. And this doesn't make me happy. How do I go about fixing it so that it does work? And is this an alias or a typeglob? And do I have to use local instead of my in the subroutine? Here's my simple script. 
my(@array) = qw(one two three four five);
duhbub(\@array);
sub duhbub {
        local(*aref) = shift;
        print("$aref[1]\n");
}

without 'use strict', it works. with 'use strict', i get the following error messages:
Variable "@aref" is not imported at ./reftest.pl line 8.
Global symbol "@aref" requires explicit package name at ./reftest.pl line 8.
Execution of ./reftest.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
