let's say you have an array that looks like this
my @vals = ( 'cat', 'dog', 'mouse' );
Let's push onto this array:
push( @vals, 'tiger' );
print( join(',',@vals ) );
outputs
cat,dog,mouse,tiger.
Let's pop from this array:
print( pop( @vals ) );
outputs
tiger.
Let's shift from this array:
print( shift( @vals ) );
outputs
cat.
Note that both shift and pop remove the value from the array that you obtained:
print( join(',',@vals ) );
prints
dog,mouse.
Finally delete isn't an array function, it's used for deleting a hash element... update: whoops Limbic~Region has pointed out I was wrong about the delete function.. read his comments below.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
