How to store scalar variables in perl array?

Question

I have an array

my @numbers;
my $num1 = 23;
my $num2 = 4;
@numbers=(\$num1 ,\$num2);
print @numbers;

then on printing the array i get something like this SCALAR(0x6a16ec8), i want the values. How do i properly store the scalar values in the array?

You don't need take reference of scalars by \. You can directly do:

@numbers = ($num1, $num2);

Note that this merely stores the values of the scalars in the array, but that's surely what the OP wants.

You stored a reference in your array.

@numbers=(\$num1 ,\$num2);

Delete the "\" in front of your Variables and it work.

@numbers=($num1 ,$num2);

A other simple Way is to use the push function from perl.

push(@numbers,($num1,$num2));

With push you append your array.
