passing array ref to subroutine

[Paul Kraus]

I don't understand why the output of the two print statements inside the
subroutine is different. The one only prints the new line. 


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

@array=qw/paul david kraus/;
$arrayref=\@array;

print "$arrayref\n";
print "$$arrayref[0]\n";

&suby($arrayref);

sub suby {
  $temp=$_[0];
  print "$$_[0][0]\n";
  print "$temp[0]\n";
}
