Hi,
>Any help greatly  appreciated.
Beau and Paul have  given the help you sought.

Help was actually at your finger tips viz, the Perl online documentation.

In your case, you would issue a command like:
perldoc -f push
and you get the display:

--------------------------

push ARRAY,LIST

              
Treats ARRAY as a stack, and pushes the values of

              
LIST onto the end of ARRAY.  The length of ARRAY

              
increases by the length of LIST.  Has the same

              
effect as
                  
for $value (LIST) {

                      
$ARRAY[++$#ARRAY] = $value;

                  
}
              
but is more efficient.  Returns the new number of

              
elements in the array.

-----------------------------

The syntax shows the comma clearly. The -f switch is for documentation
on a function. In this case, documentation on the usage of the push function.
