writing functions with a parameter

Im trying to write a function that takes an array and does stuff with it.

i have programed in c++ and i would call it like this "doStuff(arrayName)" how would i write the funciton in perl? this also leads me to ask the question of scope in perl.

sub doStuff{} how would i write this function to pass an array?

just a quick and probably dodgy example:

@array = (1 .. 10);

&mysub(@array);
exit;

sub mysub
{
@temp = @_;

foreach (@temp)
{
print "sub got this number $_n";
}
}

----
You might want to get the return values of the array so maybe you could have return(@temp), but then you'd want to call it with @somearay = &mysub(@array); Or something like that.

as for scopes in perl, a good book is learning perl by O'Reilly, it'll explain that and more. Maybe even check the perl homepage.

My perl is a tad rusty. :-/
