There are no typeglobs for lexical (my) variables. Try our instead.

Globs are symbol table entries, and only package variables are in the symbol table. Lexical (my) variables are not in the symbol table.

But there's no reason for you to be using globs anyway.

use strict;
use warnings;

my $cure = "cure";
my @cure = ('one', 'two', 'three');

cure(\$cure);

sub cure {
    my $new = shift;
    print $$new;
}

perlref, perlreftut

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 our $cure = "cure";
 our @cure = ('one', 'two', 'three');

 &cure(*cure);

 sub cure {
         my $new = shift;
         print "$$new";
         print "@$new";
 }

I hope, you would have understood by seeing the code. Yes, ofcourse my variables won't available in symbol table.

Also, read the Variables and Scoping tutorials for more.

Instead of that approach go read references quick reference and use real references instead.

Noone used or suggested using symbolic references. I wouldn't advise using globs either, though.

Oops, I just looked at the $$new and didn't look at the calling code.

But the problems raised are similar.

Use of uninitialized value in print at - line 11.
