This concept works without List::Util as well,
my @array = qw(dog cat mat bat hat);
my ($idx) = grep { $array[$_] eq 'bat' } 0 .. $#array;
Update: Fletch noted an issue, when I was quickly testing on the command line I wasn't assigning to a variable, just printing (e.g. print grep { ... } 0 .. $#array, which evaluates in list context, not scalar context as I through up here with the assignment. Adding the parens clears that up. (Thanks Fletch).

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).
