Okay, I know a hash would do this, but I'm mostly just curious...

Is there some way to extract the index of an array element? For instance:

@array = ( "Ben", "George", "Thomas", "Mervyn", "Alexander" );

$idx = some_op @array "Mervyn";

print "The index of Mervyn in the array is $idx!\n";

# The index of Mervyn in the array is 3!

What, if anything, might "some_op" be?

Thanks,

Deane
