Understanding array in array
Hello,

I have an array in which output of a query is stored. These values can be accessed by,
Code:
foreach my $val (@result){
    print ("\nValue : @{$val}[1] from result");}

Can anybody please explain me, how to delete any particular element in array @result ?

I am not a Perl specialist, but entering "perl delete array element" into Google got me nearly 3.000.000 hits.

From http://www.tizag.com/perlT/perlarrays.php:

delete $array[index] ---------> Removes an element by index number

Yup, thats Ok but what I wanted is how we can remove whole array within array....

Instead of removing each element, you can 'clean up' the array by re-assignation
Code:
my @array1; 
$array1[1]=11; 
print "before: $#array1\n"; 
my @array2; 
@array1=@array2; 
print "after: $#array1\n";

If am using
Code:
delete$array[index]

here then it shows blank element in between array. it does not shift next element one level up...
