pop
Synopsis
pop @array
Treats an array like a stack, popping and returning
the last value of the array and shortening the array by one
element. If array
is omitted, the
function pops @ARGV
(in the
main program) or @_
(in
subroutines).
If there are no elements in the array, pop
returns the undefined value. See
also push
and shift .
If you want to pop more than one element, use splice
.
