Hello Perlmonks,

I am trying to pass and return 2 HoA's and 1 Array. I created a test script to see if this was possible, but I can't get it to work 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Data::Dumper;
use strict;

my %HoA1;
my %HoA2;

push(@{$HoA1{"HOA-1"}}, "Entry One");
push(@{$HoA2{"HOA-2"}}, "Entry One");

my @a = qw(entry1 entry2 entry3);

sub test {
        my ($HoA1,$HoA2,@a,$test) = @_;
        push(@{$HoA1{"HOA-1"}}, "Entry Two");
        push(@{$HoA2{"HOA-2"}}, "Entry Two");
        print "Array:  @a\n";
        print "Test :  $test\n";
        return ($HoA1,$HoA2);
}


($HoA1,$HoA2) = test($HoA1,$HoA2,@a, "test");

print Dumper(%HoA1);

print "\n\n";

print Dumper(%HoA2);

How far off am I? Thanks!
