Re^6: Stuck on packages

ARRAY(0x18012b8) is the output.
here is the entire code:

#!/usr/bin/perl



package Foo;

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    return bless { engine => "engine", wheels => "wheels" }, $class;
}

sub get_as_array {
    my $self = shift;
    return [ $self->{engine}, $self->{wheels} ];
}

1;

my $foo = Foo->new;
print $foo->get_as_array;

You need to dereference the array reference returned by `get_as_array()` by saying `@{$foo->get_as_array}` before you print it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

ARRAY(0x18012b8) is the output. Which was expected. Indeed in the post you're replying to, but failed to quote properly, there was clearly written "If you dump the return of this, you'll see it's in an array." Just use (e.g.) Data::Dumper's `Dump` instead of print.	[reply] [d/l]
