How to pass array and hash data types to subroutines arguments in perl?


I am facing compilation error while declaring array type argument in perl subroutine defination. My complete code is below:

use Data::Dumper;
use Win32;
use Win32::Service;
use strict;
use warnings;
my @Services = qw(NNMAction RpcEptMapper smstsmgr SNMPTRAP);
my $server   = 'nnmi.hclt.corp.hcl.in';
ServiceStatus($server , @Services);

sub ServiceStatus ($serverName,@serverServices)
{       my %statcodeHash = (     '1' => 'stopped',
                             '2' => 'start pending',
                             '3' => 'stop pending',
                             '4' => 'running',
                             '5' => 'continue pending',
                             '6' => 'pause pending',
                             '7' => 'paused'            );

  foreach my $serv (@serverServices)
  {     my %status;
     my $ret = Win32::Service::GetStatus($serverName , $serv , \%status);
     if ($ret)
     {       print "success \t$statcodeHash{$status{CurrentState}} \t$serv\n";
     }
     else
     {       print Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError()), "\n";
     }
   }
 }   

COMPILATION ERROR

>perl -w perl_RemoteServiceStatus.pl

Kindly help me debugging ths code. I am sure it would be a piece of cake for some.


Solution

  • sub ServiceStatus
    {
        my ($serverName,@serverServices) = @_; # Declare variables and populate from @_, the parameter list.
        ...
    
    }
