Subroutine

The document contains Perl code that defines and calls several subroutines: 'Hello' for printing a greeting, 'Average' for calculating the average of given numbers, and 'area' for computing the area of a square. It demonstrates how to pass parameters to subroutines using special list array variables. The code includes function calls and prints the results of the calculations.
