How do I tell Perl to give me a reference to an array in the last 2
statements? There's got to be a way to pass a reference without having
to explicitly name a variable. Right?
Try:
check_required_items("Mr. Howell", $arrayPointer=[qw(Money preserver
sunscreen)] );
check_required_items("Mr. Howell", [qw(Money preserver sunscreen)] );
