delete works on a hash, not an array.

Hm. It does 'work' on an array on both 5.8.9 and 5.10.1:

C:\test>\perl32\bin\perl -Mstrict -we"my @a = 1..10; delete $a[5]; pri +nt qq[@a]" Use of uninitialized value in join or string at -e line 1. 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 C:\test>\perl64\bin\perl -Mstrict -we"my @a = 1..10; delete $a[5]; pri +nt qq[@a]" Use of uninitialized value in join or string at -e line 1. 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10

It doesn't really do what you'd hope it would do in as much as it leaves behind an undef in place of the deleted element, but there are no warnings or deprecations.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
