Hi,

I need a method of a object to return some strings (actually two). I can declare the variables as Private before calling the method and set the values of the variables inside the method.
Or I can declare the variables Local and pass them by reference (with @). Therefore, when passing by reference the variable value can be set within the method and afterward get the value.
What is better practice?
