Is there an easy|elegant|straightforward way to reorder an array? I need to take a each array of an AoA and reorder it to a specific order. An example:
@orig_array = qw(0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0);
@new_index_order = qw(8 3 4 9 11 6 7 0 14 10 1 12 2 5 13);
What I want is to put @orig_array into a new array, based on the index order from @new_index_order.
All I can think of is to create a new array with placeholder values, and run through @new_index_order, copying the indexed values from @orig_array left-to-right into the new array, replacing the placeholders. This seems clunky to me, however. Anyone else have a suggestion? Thanks.

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).
