Perl creates a list of all the arguments of the sub and makes them
available in the @_ array inside the sub.

I think you meant:
my @buffer = shift;
But that only gets you the first element of @_ and stores it in
$buffer[0]. You want to do this instead:
my @buffer = @_;

shift() only returns one scalar. If you want more than one use a slice
or the splice() function.
