How do I return values from a function in Perl?

In Perl, you can return values from a function using the 'return' keyword followed by the value you want to return.

Can you show me an example of a function that returns multiple values?

Sure! Here's an example:

sub get_values {
    return (1, 2, 3);
}

my ($a, $b, $c) = get_values();
print "$a, $b, $c";

What if I want to return a hash from a function?

You can return a hash by using the 'return' keyword with a hash reference:

sub get_hash {
    my %hash = (key1 => 'value1', key2 => 'value2');
    return \\%hash;
}

my $hash_ref = get_hash();
print $hash_ref->{key1};

Is there a way to return an array from a function?

Yes, you can return an array by simply returning it without a reference:

sub get_array {
    return (1, 2, 3);
}

my @array = get_array();
print "@array";
