Example 1: Perl #!/usr/bin/perl -w # Original Array @array = ( 10, 20, 30 ); # Printing Array elements print "Original Array: @array \n"; # Calling push function to # add a list of elements push(@array, (35, 40, 55)); # Printing Updated array elements print "Updated Array: @array \n"; Output: Original Array: 10 20 30 Updated Array: 10 20 30 35 40 55 Example 2: Perl #!/usr/bin/perl -w # Original Array @array = ( 10, A, 30 ); # Printing Array elements print "Original Array: @array \n"; # Calling push function to # add a list of elements push(@array, (F, G, H)); # Printing Updated array elements print "Updated Array: @array \n"; Output: Original Array: 10 A 30 Updated Array: 10 A 30 F G H Create Quiz Comment C Code_Mech Follow 6 Improve C Code_Mech Follow 6 Improve Article Tags : Perl Perl-function Perl-Array-Functions Explore BasicsPerl Programming Language2 min readIntroduction to Perl7 min readPerl Installation and Environment Setup in Windows, Linux, and MacOS3 min readPerl | Basic Syntax of a Perl Program10 min readHello World Program in Perl3 min readFundamentalsPerl | Data Types3 min readPerl | Boolean Values3 min readPerl | Operators | Set - 112 min readPerl | Operators | Set - 27 min readPerl | Variables4 min readPerl | Modules3 min readPackages in Perl4 min readControl FlowPerl | Decision Making (if, if-else, Nestedâif, if-elsif ladder, unless, unless-else, unless-elsif)6 min readPerl | Loops (for, foreach, while, do...while, until, Nested loops)7 min readPerl | given-when Statement4 min readPerl | goto statement3 min readArrays & ListsPerl | Arrays6 min readPerl | Array Slices3 min readPerl | Arrays (push, pop, shift, unshift)3 min readPerl List and its Types4 min readHashPerl Hash4 min readPerl | Hash Operations8 min readPerl | Multidimensional Hashes6 min readScalarsPerl | Scalars2 min readPerl | Comparing Scalars6 min readPerl | scalar keyword2 min readStringsPerl | Quoted, Interpolated and Escaped Strings4 min readPerl | String Operators4 min readPerl | String functions (length, lc, uc, index, rindex)4 min readOOP ConceptsObject Oriented Programming (OOPs) in Perl7 min readPerl | Classes in OOP6 min readPerl | Objects in OOPs6 min readPerl | Methods in OOPs5 min readPerl | Constructors and Destructors4 min readPerl | Method Overriding in OOPs6 min readPerl | Inheritance in OOPs7 min readPerl | Polymorphism in OOPs4 min readPerl | Encapsulation in OOPs6 min readRegular ExpressionsPerl | Regular Expressions2 min readPerl | Operators in Regular Expression4 min readPerl | Regex Character Classes3 min readPerl | Quantifiers in Regular Expression4 min readFile HandlingPerl | File Handling Introduction7 min readPerl | Opening and Reading a File4 min readPerl | Writing to a File3 min readPerl | Useful File-handling functions2 min read Like
