Re: inserting elements in an array

Look at perldoc -f splice

Here is an example

sub strict;

my @a1 = qw|a b c d e f|;

splice @a1, 3, 0, 'x', 'y', 'z';

print join(',', @a1);
print "\n";

Returns:

a,b,c,x,y,z,d,e,f

I learned about splice() while examining the Games::Card module. I did not need the full power of that module but did want the "pick a card, any card" functionality. --- The harder I work, the luckier I get.	[reply]

Right, but splice is a core part of the Perl language, not an external module nor some function of an external module. It's described in perlfunc. Dave	[reply]
