Hi guys,
I have a problem. Ok, it's trivial, but I really do need a hand since my blind tries are not working.
I'm using OO perl; everything is running smoothly using scalars, but I have troubles using vectors. 
# constructor
sub new
{
my $this = {};

# object properties
$this->{colour} = 'yellow';

sub getColour {
{
my $this = shift;
return $this->{colour};
}

sub setColour{
my $this = shift;
$this->{colour} = shift;
return $this->{colour};
}

And this class works. But what if I want to pass and get not just a scalar, but an array instead? I can do it easly with subroutines in structured perl, but I don't know how to do it in OO perl. For example, if I use: 
$this->{colour} = ('yellow', 'red', 'purple');

When I use: 
print $this->{colour};

the output is not the whole array. And I need the whole array as output...
