Since you said "array", you can use \$_ == \$array[-1]:
my @array= ( 1..5 );
for( @array ) {
if( \$_ == \$array[-1] ) {
print "Last element.\n";
}
print $_, $/;
}
__END__
1
2
3
4
Last element.
5
Update: ikegami asked about Data::Alias being able to confuse this test. Yes, that can be done, and one can even do it w/o such a module but it requires some unusual contortions and so probably isn't something to worry too much about:
my $five= 5;
*array= sub { \@_ }->( 1, 2, $five, 4, $five );
for( @array ) {
if( \$_ == \$array[-1] ) {
print "Last element.\n";
}
print $_, $/;
}
__END__
1
2
Last element.
5
4
Last element.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
