Can sub return more then one value?	Can't Post

Can the sub return one, two or even more values and how? How can I catch values in the main program?

Thanks

Yes, a sub can return a list of values.

Code

return $var1, $var2, $var3;

Code

my @list_of_values = my_subroutine();

Code

my ($v1, $v2, $v3) = my_subroutine();

Code

Dear digioleg54,
I am sure happy to answer your questions. But I have the feeling that in many cases, you don't do your homework before asking. Maybe you should make an effort trying to find the answer before asking.

Or, rather, maybe you should take the time to read a good tutorial on Perl before asking any question. Or even an introductory book on Perl. I'm pretty sure you'll save quite a bit of time reading a good introduction to Perl, rather than just asking basic questions on this forum.

Please make some effort trying to understand Perl with the right tutorial or book, then your questions will be hopefully more precise and more pointed, and we will be able and have the pleasure to provide better answers.
