Printing array in perl mason












0















I am new to Perl Mason and I am trying to print an array. I tried several ways, explored the web but nothing seems to work.



I tried -



my $arr = getArray();
print "Array : $arr"; # prints "Array : ARRAY(0xcd421774)"
my $size = scalar $arr;
print "Size : $size"; # prints "size ARRAY(0xcd421774)"


I also tried to print the first element of the array



print "Element : $arr[0]"; # throws error "Global symbol "@arr" requires explicit package name at ..."

          Your $arr is an array reference. You need to dereference it with the @{ … } operator: @{ $arr } or the shorthand @$arr.



          my $arr = getArray();
          print "Array : @$arr";
          my $size = scalar @$arr;
          print "Size : $size";


          To access one element: ${ $arr }[0] or the shorthands $$arr[0] or $arr->[0], of which the last form should be preferred.

          I am not familiar with Perl Mason but it seems like getArray() does not return an array. It might be returning an array reference. I thought that's the reason why you assign it to a scalar variable $arr, not @arr;



          You can confirm this using Data::Dumper



          use Data::Dumper;
          print Dumper $arr;


          or ref.



          if (ref($r) eq "ARRAY")


          If it's indeed an array reference, you can access the first element like this:



          $arr->[0];


          Print the array like this:



          print "Array : @$arr";


          And get its size like this:



          my $size = scalar @$arr;
