Please use <code></code> tags to format your code.
In routine_2 your hash reference is stored as the last element in @array.
quoted from perldata
The final element of a list assignment may be an array or a hash:
($a, $b, @rest) = split;
my($a, $b, %rest) = @_;
You can actually put an array or hash anywhere in the list, but the fi
+rst one in the list
will soak up all the values, and anything after it will become undefin
+ed. This may be
useful in a my() or local().
You must decide now, whether to pass the array as last argument to routine_2 or to pass a reference to that array and then use that reference in your subroutine. I'd use the second option. ;o)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
