In particular I'm having problems passing the @array to the subroutine.

Considering that your 222 line blob of code contains 12 subroutines, but no mentioning of "@array", your question is very mysterious. I guess you have somewhere in your 222 lines something you have problems with. But while posting code is good, posting a complete 222 line program without any indication where your problem is, is not a good idea.

You said you wanted to put text typed in my the user directly on the canvas, but how you want to do that is unclear to me. I've looked for the bindings, but all you seem to bind are mouse related events.
