i have solved the issue in my own way i am newbie so if there is any inefficiency in my code please point out...as
"there is more than one way to do it"
my @array=('one','two','three','four','five','six');
&shuffle(\@array);
sub shuffle{
my $array=shift;
my $max=@$array;
#print $max;
foreach(@$array)
{
my $random=int rand($max+1);
unless($random eq $max)
{
@$array[$random,$max]=@$array[$max,$random];
$max--;
}
}
}
print "@array\n";
** i also have a querry if i omit the $max-- what wrong will happen

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
