Code:
#!C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -w
print "Content-Type: Text/plain\n\n";#<-- this is not necessary unless running as a CGI script

@horse = ("mdamdamad" , "asdasda" ,"asdasd" ,"a");

getindex ("asd",@horse);

sub getindex {
   ($string,@a) = @_;
   print $string."\n";
   foreach $key (@a){
      print $key."\n";
   }
}

You're going to want to learn how to use references in perl really quickly insterad of trying to pass mixed data types like int he code above. An example:

Code:
#!C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -w
print "Content-Type: Text/plain\n\n";

@horse = ("mdamdamad" , "asdasda" ,"asdasd" ,"a");

getindex ("asd",\@horse);

sub getindex {
   my ($string,$array_ref) = @_;
   print $string."\n";
   foreach $key (@{$array_ref}){
      print $key."\n";
   }
}

The first three tutorials on this page discuss references:

Tutorials - perldoc.perl.org

Also:

you will want to use "warnings" and "strict" pragmas and start declaring your variables properly when writing perl code.

Code:
#!C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Content-Type: Text/plain\n\n";

my @horse = ("mdamdamad" , "asdasda" ,"asdasd" ,"a");

getindex ("asd",\@horse);

sub getindex {
   my ($string, $array_ref) = @_;
   print $string."\n";
   foreach $key (@{$array_ref}){
      print $key."\n";
   }
}

Also, don't use $a and $b as private variables in your perl scripts. Perl uses them for sorting data.

The http header was also wrong, you had: Text-plain should be: Text/plain

test::inline::content::simple

Test::Inline::Content::Simple(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Test::Inline::Content::Simple(3pm)

NAME

       Test::Inline::Content::Simple - Simple templating Content Handler

SYNOPSIS

	 In your inline2test.tpl
	 ----------------------
	 #!/usr/bin/perl -w

	 use strict;
	 use Test::More [% plan %];
	 $| = 1;

	 [% tests %]

	 1;

DESCRIPTION

       It is relatively common to want to customise the contents of the generated test files to set up custom environment things on an all-scripts
       basis, rather than file by file (using =begin SETUP blocks).

       "Test::Inline::Content::Simple" lets you use a very simple Template Toolkit style template to define this information.

       It contains only two tags, "plan" and "tests".

       The "plan" tag will be inserted as either "tests =" 123> or 'no_plan'.

       The "tests" tag will be replaced by the actual testing code.

METHODS

   new $filename
       Manually create a new "Test::Inline::Content::Simple" object. Takes as parameter a single filename which should contain the template code.

       Returns a new "Test::Inline::Content::Simple" object, or "undef" on error.

   template
       The "template" accessor returns the template content for the object

   process $Inline, $Script
       The "process" method is unchanged from "Test::Inline::Content".
