[SLUG] Perl Q

[Michael Lake <Mike.Lake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Simple Q,

My perl script has a function and I want to return two
arrays from the function. I found that I can't just assign
the return values like this;

(@A, @B) = readData();

sub readData
{
	# get data and create @A and @B	
	return (@A, @B);
}

My perl book doesn't cover returning more than one array. Do
I use references? I don't want to put A and B into a single
array and return that then later have to separate out A and
B.

The perl script runs on my Linux box here via apache and is
part of the new computer based chemistry experiment for this
semester coming up.

Mike
