in reply to Inserting an element into an array after a certain element

Say, you have "a,b,c,d,e" and want a "f" after "c":
@array = map { $_ eq "c" ? ("c","f") : $_ } @array
but this would insert "f" for each "c" you have.

    You could easily fix that by adding a counter:
    @array = map { $_ eq "c" && !$found++ ? ("c","f") : $_ } @array
    (as a sub)
    sub insert_after_first { my $arr_ref = shift; my $to_insert = shift; my $insert_after_me = shift; my $found = 0; map { $_ eq $insert_after_me && !$found++ ? ( $insert_after_me, $to +_insert ) : $_ } @$arr_ref; }

    Ajusted to only do it once:

    my $first = 1; @array = map { if ($first && $_ eq "c") { $first = 0; ($_, "x") } else { $_ } } @array;

    hum, ugly. How about:

    my $first = 1; @array = map { my @a = $_; push(@a, "x") if ($first && $_ eq "c"); $first ||= @a-1; @a } @array

    Nope, still ugly. Well, you could always do:

    foreach (0..$#array) { if ($array[$_] eq "c") { splice(@array, $_+1, 0, "x"); last; } }

    Actually, I think this is along the lines of what I'm looking to do with something I'm working on.
