As has already been explained by others, a reference must
be used in place of an array itself.
I'd like to add just one thing. For performance reasons,
i'd rather change the sub mult to return the
array reference rather than the array itself. Also, pass an
array reference as the second param to mult
instead of an array.
sub mult {
my ($a, $b) = @_;
# dereference the array, process it and create a new array
....
return \@c;
}
## Assuming that the array @b is a 2D array too
for $i (0..$N){
push @results, mult($a, $b[$i]);
}

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).
