How to create Array in Perl?
<p>Perl Array variables are prefixed with the @ sign and are populated using either parentheses or the qw operator. For example −</p><pre class="result notranslate">@array = (1, 2, 'Hello'); @array = qw/This is an array/;</pre><p>The second line uses the qw// operator, which returns a list of strings, separating the delimited string by white space. In this example, this leads to a four-element array; the first element is 'this' and last (fourth) is 'array'. This means that you can use different lines as follows −</p><pre class="result notranslate">@days = qw/Monday Tuesday ... Sunday/;</pre><p>You can also populate an array by assigning each value individually as follows −</p><pre class="result notranslate">$array[0] = 'Monday'; ... $array[6] = 'Sunday';</pre>
