⭐ in reply to How do I find the index of a specific array value?

You could use an index hash: 
my @array = qw( your array here );
my $search = "array";

my %index;
@index{@array} = (0..$#array);
my $index = $index{$search};
print $index, "\n";

This is a win, for larger arrays, if you need to do multiple/many lookups while the array remains static.
