Function Parameters

Learn about Perl's parameter handling.

We'll cover the following...

The array of function parameters

A function receives its parameters in a single array, @_. Perl flattens all provided arguments into a single list when we invoke a function. The function must either unpack its parameters into variables or operate on @_ directly:

Press + to interact
sub greet_one {
    my ($name) = @_;
    say "Hello, $name!";
}
sub greet_all {
    say "Hello, $_!" for @_;
}
greet_one('Sam', 'Ash');
greet_all('Sam', 'Ash');
