Hey all,
I'm not much of a OO programmer and this (I think pretty simple) function is giving me fits. 
sub cleararray()
{
    my $class = shift;
    for ($i=0;$i<$radiovar;$i++)  #reset array to empty
    {
        for ($j=0;$j<$radiovar;$j++)
            {
                $array[$i][$j]="0";
            }
    }
}

So my problem is that I want to send to the function cleararray() the value that has been assigned to $radiovar in a different location, so that cleararray() can work on the data from the same starting point.
I've tried cleararray($radiovar) to get the value to cleararray() and I'm getting the error NOT ENOUGH ARGUMENTS FOR PATTERNS::CLEARARRAY. Patterns is the .pm, and cleararray is a subfxn.
thanks,
john
