I was not exactly sure what you were trying to do i.e. where were you giving a value to $path and whether or not the &GetDirArray was a seperate subroutine or a typo which meant to be updateArray. At any rate, the code below should help you with your array referencing. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @filesArray=();
my $path = shift @ARGV;

&updateArray($path,\@filesArray);

foreach my $name (@filesArray)
{
    print $name . "\n";
}

sub updateArray{
    my $newPath = shift;
    my $arrayRef = shift;
    opendir(FP, $path) or die "Could not open $path: $!\n";
    my $spath = "";
    my @dirList = readdir(FP);
    foreach my $i (@dirList)
    {
        if (($i ne ".") && ($i ne ".."))
    {  
        push @$arrayRef, $newPath."/".$i;
        $spath = $newPath."/".$i;
        if( -d $spath )
        {
            &updateArray($spath,$arrayRef);
        }
    }
    }
closedir(FP);
}
