Hi monks,
I want to write one method inside one package that returns subroutine reference.
Then from calling program I want to call that method. Below is my code : 
package myTest;

use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION %EMP @ARR $VAL);
$VERSION = '0.01';

%EMP = ("1", "Ravish", "2", "Mike");
@ARR = (5,6,7,8);

sub new {
  my $package = shift;
  return bless({}, $package);
}

sub add {
  my $self = shift;
  my ($a, $b) = @_;
  my $c = $a +  $b;
  push @ARR, $c;

        return @ARR;
}

sub greet {
    my($grt) = @_;     
    return sub {
                my($subject)= @_;
                print "$grt $subject \n";
           };
}

1;

this is my calling program :
use strict;
use myTest;


my @chk = @myTest::ARR;


my $obj = myTest->new();

my $rs1 = $obj->greet("hello");
my $rs2 = $obj->greet("my fair");

&$rs1("world") ;  # it should print "hello world" but not
&$rs2("lady") ;   # it should "my fair lady" but not

Is this the right way to call that function from subroutine ? Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance
