I beg to differ. From perldoc perldata (my emphasis):
Normal arrays are *ordered* lists of scalars
indexed by number, starting with 0 and with negative
subscripts counting from the end.
One of the main features of arrays (compared to hashes) is that you
have full control over the order in which the elements are inserted.
Many algorithms rely on this order (look e.g. at the GD::Graph module).
