RE: peeking at the top or bottom of an array

[Tim Johnson]

How about:

my $check_first = $array[0];
my $check_last = $array[-1];

Subject: peeking at the top or bottom of an array


Is there a way to "peek" at the top or bottom of an array?  Sort of like
pop or shift but without needing to insert the value back into the
array?

I suppose I could do something like:

my $check_me = pop @array;
push @array, $check_me;

But that seems kind of inelegant and verbose.

Thanks,

Dan
