Hi All monks

I have a doubt in creating a empty array reference. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
                                                                      
+                                                       
@d = ( 1,2);
$array = \@d;
$array = \();
$$array[0] = 1;
                                                                      
+                                                       
print "Value :", $$array[0] , "\n";

In the above code

If I comment "$array = \@d;" then If I run the code I am getting an error like

<bold>Not an ARRAY reference</bold>

Can't I create Empty array reference.

Or am I am making any mistake in understanding the array reference

Please adive me on the same.

Thank you all
