Hi,
I don't not understand how the $#{$array_r} returns "highest" element as
4 and not 5???
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my @array = (1,2,3,4,5);
my $array_r = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
print "the highest element is number $#{$array_r}\n";
Cheers

You can also write this as $#$array_r if you are into perl golf.
if you want the last value:
$$array_r[$#$array+1] or $array_r->[$#$array+1]
( but never use $#$array_r++ !!! )
To get the true length: $#$array + 1
