Shawn,
I'm not sure where you're headed with this (I didn't see the question
it is in reply to) but take another look at perlfaq4.
Linked lists are normally implemented in Perl as hasrefs, and
described adequately in perlfaq4 ('how do I handle linked lists?'), as
well as perldsc and perltoot and _Mastering Algorithms with Perl_,
which is IMO a must read for anyone thinking about manipulating
complex and possibly recursive data structures.
If you are having a specific issue with linked lists, please provide
the code you're working on as requested in the mailing list FAQ.
Your post is simply listing the standard array functions and
operators. There is nothing linked about the data manipulated by these
functions, as each item is a simple scalar and contains no information
about the preceding and following items.
Also please see perldoc -q 'what is the difference between a list and
an array'. You seem to be confusing the two. '@list' is not a list; it
is an array.
