The syntax is clearly correct (as shown in the example below). So if you're getting the proper data with Dumper in your for loop, then you're likely damaging the data between the Dumper call and your return statement.
$ cat t.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub get_data {
my $data = shift;
my @AoA = (1 .. $data);
return \@AoA;
}
my $aref = get_data(5);
print join(", ", @$aref), "\n";
marco@Boink:/Work/Perl/Sudoku
$ perl t.pl
1, 2, 3, 4, 5

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

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).
