Just to expand a little on FunkyMonk's answer, using a list as a fourth et seq. argument to splice allows you to insert elements into an array. The following silly example, spliceing the heron and parrot out of @mammals and into @birds, gives you the general idea.

use strict;
use warnings;

my @mammals = qw{ cat dog heron parrot stoat zebra };
my @birds   = qw{ coot sparrow };

print qq{Before:\n     @mammals\n     @birds\n};

splice @birds, 1, 0, splice @mammals, 2, 2;

print qq{ After:\n     @mammals\n     @birds\n};

The output.

Before:
     cat dog heron parrot stoat zebra
     coot sparrow
 After:
     cat dog stoat zebra
     coot heron parrot sparrow
[download]

I hope this is of interest.

Update: AnomalousMonk pointed out that I really needed a "Before" and "After" rather than two "Before"s. That's what comes of careless cut 'n' paste development :-(
