Hi all, I have a problem(!) but I can't understand why is it so. I have a set of variables (Which is all scalars) and an array to be passed on to a subroutine. The array and the scalars come from two different subroutines. Please see the code below 

 my ($id_snp, $id_assay, $session,  $load_set) = @_; #these variables
   my (@lines) = @_;          #this array 
   my $plate_id = $cgi->param('plate');
   my $barcode = Verifynumber($plate_id);
   my $plate = $barcode->{Number};
   my $dna_well;
   $dna_well = $STATEMENTS->get("geno_manifest.sql_lib::get_dnawell", 
+[$plate, lc$lines[2]]);
   print "dna_well: $dna_well->[0]->[0]";
   print "SNP: $id_snp, assay:$id_assay , session $session, load_set: 
+ $load_set";

The result I get is: 
SNP: 8925827, assay:67 , session 5884, load_set: 227dna_well: 5381721(
+ which is right.
and the rest of the results are the values of the scalar are  
from the array @lines).
SNP: True, assay:3200768 , session A1, load_set: EPS316120dna_well: 53
+81817SNP: True, assay:3200768 , session A2, load_set: EPS31807

Also, the dna_well which is processed in this subroutine hasn't got a problem. Could any one suggest me what I am doing wrong here. And why is that using the array values if used along with the variables. Thanks for you help in advance
The @lines is something like this: 
True    3200768 A1      EPS316120       8.535   17.575  GG      0.90
True    3200768 A2      EPS318077       8.820   17.126  GG      0.95
True    255     A3      EPS316121       17.084  13.650  GA      0.97
True    3200768 A4      EPS318078       8.541   16.653  GG      0.94
True    16744448        A5      EPS316122       18.267  3.880   AA    
+  1.00
True    255     A6      EPS318079       13.130  11.004  GA      0.91

Thanks a lot.
