hi,
sorry for my persistence.i'm kind of stuck because of this and i need to find a solution. though i am not a perl expert,i do know about basics of todays trend of languages. using reference mechanism i can do this in perl(below).Is it possible to pass this reference if i were to call this sub 'call()' from a C prog after XPUSH'ing the arguments into the perl stack. please do reply. 
#begin
#!/bin/perl

@xyz=(abcdefghij,xyz,sdfakjsadfk);
@abc=(123,345,567);

&call("string1",\@xyz,\@abc,"string2");

sub call
{
  $w=$_[0];
  $x=$_[1];
  $y=$_[2];
  $z=$_[3];
  foreach (@$x){ print "$_ "};
  print "\n";
  foreach ($w){ print "$_ "};
  print "\n";
  foreach (@$y){ print "$_ "};
  print "\n";
  foreach ($z){ print "$_ "};
  print "\n";
}
#end
