Re^2: Passing arrays in subs

That doesn't really fix anything. The lexically scoped array will be altered, but the original array, @hello, won't end up with those changes in the main scope. speedyshady needs to use a reference, like morgon and kennethk have already said.

Alternatively, your method could be used, but the new list would have to be returned.

The lexically scoped array will be altered, but the original array, @hello I've never seen the OP message saying "The original array should be changed" I've seen him creating a new array, but having difficultly to get the other variables values correct. So while others assumed he want to change the original array, I assumed he wants to create a new one ... what's wrong with that ... and what's all that -- for?	[reply]
