perl: Assigning array values..

looza · #1 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008

I have to add a variable value to an array, something like this:

......
@my_array_name = $value_of_this_variable;

This doesnt seem to work, any ideas why?

Thanks!

use this:

unshift( @my_array_name, $value_of_this_variable) ;

'unshift' adds to the beginning of an array, 'push' adds to the end of an array.

If you want to assign, its like this:

@array = ($value_of_this_variable,$value_of_this_variable_also);
