Hello. I'm new to this site, and Perl in general. I'm currently taking my first Perl course, and I'm having some trouble. Here is my problem...

I'm trying to pass an array to a subroutine, and from my understanding...all the arguments get passed to the subroutine in the array @_ , so what I'm trying to understand here, is if my original array get placed into another array, how can I pull that array out.

The "minimum" and "maximum" subroutines are different, because I've been trying different things with each one to get them to work, to no avail. I'm really at a loss here. I've looked through all my notes, my "Programming Perl" book (3rd edition), and also emailed the instructor. It seems like no matter what variations I try, I cannot get the subroutines to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
