Hmm?  Unless I mistake your question, of course.

Modules are able to include procedures and functions which are in turn able to accept arrays as arguments.

but how would you pass the array from a main program to a module without splitting an array up into different pieces (ex. 1 piece of info at a time)

The same way you would pass an array to a procedure or function:
var myGlobalArray : array 1 .. 3 of int := init (3, 4, 6)
proc putArray (localArray : array 1 .. * of int)
    for i : 1 .. upper (localArray)
        put localArray(i)
    end for
end putArray
putArray(myGlobalArray)
It works the same for a procedure in a module.
