All the indexes of array starts with 0.How to change the start index of array to "101";

Subtract 101 from the index.

use constant BASE => 101;
$a[$i - BASE] = 'a';

This will still work:

print("The array has ", 0+@a, " elements\n");
for (@a) {
    ...
}

without preventing you from doing

for my $i (101..200) {
    ... $a[$i - BASE] ...
}

There's also $[, but

• It affects all arrays
• It affects substr
• It's used is discouraged.
• It will issue a deprecation warning by default in Perl 5.12.
• It will be removed in Perl 5.14.

I'd avoid it.

perldoc or online on CPAN

Update: Compensated for a warning. There needs to be space between - and BASE.
