Pass Array of Hash of Arrays to Subroutine

[CJason]

Ok, here's a good one...how do I pass an Array of Hash of Arrays to a subroutine? Do you just pass it like an array?

undef @AoHoA;
&mysub(\@AoHoA);

I've tried this, but I get the following error when attempting to use AoHoA in mysub:

"Can't coerce array into hash..."

It's obvious that I'm missing something. Do I need to do some sort of constructor on AoHoA before calling the sub???

Thanks!

I think I figured it out. The problem was actually in my_sub. I was doing:

@inAoHoA = @_;

Where I should have been doing:

$inAoHoA = @_;

actually you should be doing this:

my ($inAoHoA) = @_;

or:

my $inAoHoA = $_[0];

What you posted will result in $inAoHoA having a value equal to the length of the @_ array because you have assigned an array to a scalar.

Sorry, I tried to make things simple...and messed it up. I'm actually passing multiple things to the subroutine, so it's more like this:

($AoHoA,$this,$that) = @_;

OK... never mind then
