Well, you're going to have to change that array in the middle. You can either make it a reference, or move it to the end. Also, you have to read in the parameters yourself, it's not quite as automatic as C or Java in that sense.
So by the first option, it should be:
sub functionname {
my ($string_param, $array_param_ref, $other_string_param) = @_;
my @array_param = @$array_param_ref;
# do something with parameters, return values
}
That code would be called like:
functionname("string",['array_item1', $arrayItem2, '...'], "other_string_param");
Or, you could put it at the end:
sub functionname{
my ($string_param, $other_string_param, @array_param) = @_;
# do something with parameters, return values
}
where it'll slurp up all remaining args.
And that code would be called like:
functionname("string", "other_string_param", 'array_item1', $arrayItem2, '...');
Hope that helps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
