Hi, new to perl...
I want to define a N-dimensional array of fixed dimensions, and then pass it to a subroutine with other variables.
How do I define that array and pass it to/from the subroutine?
I do not understand if the shift operator can recognise the array among the variables passed, and if the dimensions are kept with the shift-extracted array... maybe I have to pass its dimensions to have them available in the subroutine?
This in Fortran :) would be, for example:
            PARAMETER (NX=10,NY=10)
            REAL A(NX,NY)
            .....
            CALL S1(A,NX,NY)
            .....
            END

            SUBROUTINE S1(B,I,K)
            REAL B(I,K)
            ...
            RETURN
            END
