I'm writing a function that needs to take in an array and then splice it to insert an item into the array. Conceptually this should be very simple to do, however I'm having issues with the array and @_ or any other parameter array or variables.

This needs to produce "Hello World ! BANG!"

 
my @hello = ("Hello", "World", "BANG!");

sub ListInsert
{
    my @lsList = @_;
    my $sItem = @_;
    my $nItem = @_;
    
    splice(@lsList, $nItem, 0, $sItem);
    
    print "@lsList\n";
}
ListInsert(@hello, 2,"!");

But this prints "Hello World BANG! 2 ! 5" Any ideas?
