I think what you're looking for is this, from "perldoc -f pop": pop ARRAY pop Pops and returns the last value of the array, shortening the array by one element. Has an effect similar to
$ARRAY[$#ARRAY--] If there are no elements in the array, returns the undefined value (although this may happen at other times as well). If ARRAY is omitted, pops the "@ARGV" array in the main program, and the "@_" array in subroutines, just like "shift". -----Original Message----- From: John Dillon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 11:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: question > perldoc > 8<------8<---------- (snip) OK. Now, 'array_pop' is the (php) function which deletes an element from the end of the array. So, where is this on perl (I know that's unfair, I should go the other way also - see below)?
