my @digitsOfPi = (3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,5,9,'etc');

sub frobnicate

  my $fooString = shift;
  my $barString = shift @_;  #more typing
  my @remainder = @_;
  print $remainder[0] == 3 ? 'yum' :'eew';

`my (...) = @_;` is a very common way of getting args. I can't believe it wasn't mentioned. `sub frobnicate { my ($foo, $bar, @remainder) = @_; print $remainder[0] == 3 ? 'yum' :'eew'; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Probably because the OP was asking about getting variables from the sub back to the scope from which it was called and this is the other way around.	[reply]
