I shall presume you got David's clarification of 'push' and $_
and what you want to learn about is

        perldoc perlref

for the semantically silly construct

        @$array_ref

or 'make it be as if the underlying $array_ref is really
a ref to an array'.....

or did you specifically wish to discuss the merits
and demerits of creating the @list_shrugged, and passing
it out of your function, vice having the user pass IN
a reference to your data type????
