> I do not want "push" that puts it at the bottom of the list.

That's the code you posted as demonstration of what you want

  DB<108> @array = ( "Top" );
 => "Top"

  DB<109> @output=1..3
 => (1, 2, 3)

  DB<110> unshift (@array, @output);
 => 4

  DB<111> @array
 => (1, 2, 3, "Top")

and that's what push does

  DB<112> push @output, "Top"
 => 4

  DB<113> @output
 => (1, 2, 3, "Top")

maybe you should check your examples before posting?

Besides: I've never heard of "bottom" or "top" of lists or even arrays. "Start" and "End" are much better description for chains w/o any vertical orientation.
