You probably want: $MyArray[ 0 ] = 0; # assign literals to scalars $MyArray[ 1 ] = 5; Or simply: @MyArray[ 0, 1 ] = ( 0, 5 ); # assign list to array slice Or if you must use push: push @MyArray, 0, 5; # add two elements to the end of the array Or another way to do the second example above: splice @MyArray, 0, 2, ( 0, 5 ); John -- use Perl; program fulfillment -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
