 The Camel book seems to say that splice will only remove or change
 elements and move them *down* if necessary.

 You must think I'm a raging newb, but I gotta admit, I've never used
 splice. Thanks, I'll check it out!

Everybody's a 'newb' at stuff that haven't tried before. It might help to think 
of inserting elements into an array as replacing a section of length 0, when 
you read 'perldoc -f splice'.

It might also be worth taking a look at slices, described in 'perldoc perldata'.

 It might also be worth taking a look at slices, described in 'perldoc 
perldata'.

It also *may* be worth rethinking your data model. Often (not always but 
...) needing to insert something into a particular location in an array 
implies a hash might be a better structure.

Just a thought.

Splice with a length of 0... I wish I had thought of that. Thank you!
