in reply to How do I find the index of a specific array value?
You should use first() from List::Util. List::Util is a core module, unlike List::MoreUtils and other modules mentioned above, so it is portable and can be used with no extra effort.
use List::Utils qw(first); my @array = qw( Apples Oranges Brains Toes Kiwi); my $search = "Toes"; my $index = first {$_ eq $search} @array; print "index of $search = $index\n";
