ok, read it, thanks.
"Note that deleting array elements in the middle of an array will not shift
the index of the ones after them down--use splice() for that. See "exists"."
that was what I meant (and obviously did not say clear).
bash-2.05b$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i686-linux
bash-2.05b$ perl
my @a=(qw/1 2 3 4 5/);
delete $a[2];
print join ', ', @a, "\n";
rint "size of array: ", scalar @a, "\n";
# this prints:
1, 2, , 4, 5
size of array: 5
Then I read the CHANGES of the most recent version 5.8.6-RC1 on
search.cpan.org/dist/perl/, but I could only find there:
[ 23158]
[perl #30733] memory leak in array delete
av_delete() wasn't mortalizing the returned value
[ 23271]
only mortalize deleted array elements for AvREAL
(update to change #23158
What did I miss?
What do you mean by "a more recent perl?"
BTW: In the case you read some of my posts: What do you, as a routined helper
here, honestly think: Should I stop answering questions? I don't want to
mainly confuse the people, and I'm not here for public relation, since my
name is not john doe and I don't work for tele2.ch.
greetings joe
