Your code will only modify the value of $array[7] (which was 8: remember that array indexes start at 0, not at 1). In other words, after $array[7] = $array[7] + $array[8], your array will contain (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, "89", 9, 10).
The index of the element with value 9 is still 8 as it has always been (again, array indexes start at 0, not at 1). No elements have been moved around or deleted. Only the 8th element (the one with index 7) has been altered.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
