What do you really want to do? The dereference is as simple as `undef @$ref;` (see below for the entire updated sub), but I have the strong feeling that you are asking the wrong question and providing the wrong sample code. It seems extraordinary that you would call a sub just to clear an array! `sub undef_ref { my $ref = shift; undef @$ref; print '=' x 20; print "\n"; print Dumper (@$ref); }` [download] True laziness is hard work	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well, I'm trying to modify an array in a subroutine. I have chose to undef my array because... well... i thought it would be good example. I was wrong :) Your code works as expected. Thank you very much	[reply]

It's worth the time to have a look at perlreftut -- the simple reference tutorial :)	[reply]
