Problem is that $getnumber refers to _scalar variable_ with that name. If you 
want to call the function, use getnumber() or &getnumber;

Explanation: you are assigning value of $getnumber variable (which does not 
exist and thus is undefined) to both $x and $y.

It's strongly recomended to use flag '-w' and write 'use strict;' on the 
beginning of every program; if you were using it, you would find the problem 
by yourself :)
