Basic Question

I need assistance in passing an array to a subroutine that is located in a package. Below, you will find code examples.

Package 

package SomePackage;

BEGIN {
     print "Beginning package ".__PACKAGE__." Error code:  $?.\n";
}

sub new() {
     my $self = {};
     return bless $self;
}

sub DESTROY() {
     my $self = shift;
     warn "DESTROYING $self";
}

sub print_filename() {
my $object = {};

$object{FILES} = $_[1];
$object{PARAMETER_TWO} = $_[2];
$object{PARAMETER_THREE} = $_[3];

while(($key,$value) = each(%object)) {
     print "$key => $value\n";
}
}

END {
    print "Ending package ".__PACKAGE__ ." Error code:  $?.\n";
}

return 1;

Package Call 

require "SomePackage.pl';

$SP = new SomePackage;
@array = qw(one.txt two.txt three.txt);
$SP->print_filename(@array,$arg1,$arg2);

In-depth Question

How can I format the array so that I can be passed to the package's subroutine so that key PARAMETER_TWO does not equal two.txt and PARAMETER_THREE does not equal three.txt? How can I convert the array into a scalar before passing it to the package? Note: I just wrote this code on-the-fly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
