In normal Perl, the first element of an array has index 0, the second element has index 1, and so on. This module allows array indexes to start at some other value. Most commonly it is used to give the first element of an array the index 1 (and the second 2, and so on), to imitate the indexing behaviour of FORTRAN and many other languages. It is usually considered poor style to do this.</p> <p>The array index offset is controlled at compile time, in a lexically-scoped manner. Each block of code, therefore, is subject to a fixed offset. It is expected that the affected code is written with knowledge of what that offset is.</p> <h2 id="Using-an-array-index-offset"><a id="Using"></a>Using an array index offset</h2> <p>An array index offset is set up by a <code>use Array::Base</code> directive, with the desired offset specified as an argument. Beware that a bare, unsigned number in that argument position, such as "<code>use Array::Base 1</code>", will be interpreted as a version number to require of <code>Array::Base</code>. It is therefore necessary to give the offset a leading sign, or parenthesise it, or otherwise decorate it. The offset may be any integer (positive, zero, or negative) within the range of Perl's integer arithmetic.</p> <p>An array index offset declaration is in effect from immediately after the <code>use</code> line, until the end of the enclosing block or until overridden by another array index offset declaration. A declared offset always replaces the previous offset: they do not add. "<code>no Array::Base</code>" is equivalent to "<code>use Array::Base +0</code>": it returns to the Perlish state with zero offset.</p> <p>A declared array index offset influences these types of operation:</p> <ul> <li><p>array indexing (<code>$a[3]</code>)</p> </li> <li><p>array slicing (<code>@a[3..5]</code>)</p> </li> <li><p>array pair slicing (<code>%a[3..5]</code>)</p> </li> <li><p>list indexing/slicing (<code>qw(a b c)[2]</code>)</p> </li> <li><p>array splicing (<code>splice(@a, 3, 2)</code>)</p> </li> <li><p>array last index (<code>$#a</code>)</p> </li> <li><p>array keys (<code>keys(@a)</code>) (Perl 5.11 and later)</p> </li> <li><p>array each (<code>each(@a)</code>) (Perl 5.11 and later)</p> </li> </ul> <p>Only forwards indexing, relative to the start of the array, is supported. End-relative indexing, normally done using negative index values, is not supported when an index offset is in effect. Use of an index that is numerically less than the index offset will have unpredictable results.</p> <h2 id="Differences-from-$["><a id="Differences"></a><a id="Differences-from"></a>Differences from <code>$[</code></h2> <p>This module is a replacement for the historical <a href="/pod/perlvar#%24%5B"><code>$[</code></a> variable. In early Perl that variable was a runtime global, affecting all array and string indexing in the program. In Perl 5, assignment to <code>$[</code> acts as a lexically-scoped pragma. <code>$[</code> is deprecated. The original <code>$[</code> was removed in Perl 5.15.3, and later replaced in Perl 5.15.5 by an automatically-loaded <a href="/pod/arybase">arybase</a> module. This module reimplements the index offset feature without any specific support from the core.</p> <p>Unlike <code>$[</code>, this module does not affect indexing into strings. This module is concerned only with arrays. To influence string indexing, see <a href="/pod/String::Base">String::Base</a>.</p> <p>This module does not show the offset value in <code>$[</code> or any other accessible variable. With the array offset being lexically scoped, there should be no need to write code to handle a variable offset.</p> <p><code>$[</code> has some predictable, but somewhat strange, behaviour for indexes less than the offset. The behaviour differs slightly between slicing and scalar indexing. This module does not attempt to replicate it, and does not support end-relative indexing at all.</p> <p>The last-index operator (<code>$#a</code>), as implemented by the Perl core, generates a magical scalar which is linked to the underlying array. The numerical value of the scalar varies if the length of the array is changed, and code with different <code>$[</code> settings will see accordingly different values. The scalar can also be written to, to change the length of the array, and again the interpretation of the value written varies according to the <code>$[</code> setting of the code that is doing the writing. This module does not replicate any of that behaviour. With an array index offset from this module in effect, <code>$#a</code> evaluates to an ordinary rvalue scalar, giving the last index of the array as it was at the time the operator was evaluated, according to the array index offset in effect where the operator appears.</p> <h1 id="PACKAGE-METHODS"><a id="PACKAGE"></a>PACKAGE METHODS</h1> <p>These methods are meant to be invoked on the <code>Array::Base</code> package.</p> <dl> <dt id="Array::Base->import(BASE)"><a id="Array"></a><a id="Array::Base-import-BASE"></a>Array::Base->import(BASE)</dt> <dd> <p>Sets up an array index offset of <i>BASE</i>, in the lexical environment that is currently compiling.</p> </dd> <dt id="Array::Base->unimport"><a id="Array1"></a><a id="Array::Base-unimport"></a>Array::Base->unimport</dt> <dd> <p>Clears the array index offset, in the lexical environment that is currently compiling.</p> </dd> </dl> <h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1> <p><a href="/pod/B::Deparse">B::Deparse</a> will generate incorrect source when deparsing code that uses an array index offset. It will include both the pragma to set up the offset and the munged form of the affected operators. Either the pragma or the munging is required to get the index offset effect; using both will double the offset. Also, the code generated for an array each (<code>each(@a)</code>) operation involves a custom operator, which <a href="/pod/B::Deparse">B::Deparse</a> can't understand, so the source it emits in that case is completely wrong.</p> <p>The additional operators generated by this module cause spurious warnings if some of the affected array operations are used in void context.</p> <p>Prior to Perl 5.9.3, the lexical state of array index offset does not propagate into string eval.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO"><a id="SEE"></a>SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="/pod/String::Base">String::Base</a>, <a
