how do i run this subroutine

kurtcobain has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:


sub Parse{
        my $self = shift;
        my $html_code = shift;
        my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => [qw(Severity Advi
+sory Synopsis Date)] );
        my @args = ();
        $te->parse_file($html_code);
         foreach my $ts($te->tables) {
                foreach my $row ($ts->rows) {
                        push(@args,("\'".join('\',\'',@$row)."\'\n"));
                }
        }
        return @args;
}

Command line arguments are available inside the script as the pre-defined variable @ARGV . This array can be passed to the subroutine. I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. -SNL	[reply]

Do you know how to pass a variable to a subroutine? @ARGV is a variable. Pass it to the subroutine. Or pass $url as toolic derived above.	[reply]
