Re: Is there an isArray() in Perl?

[jdporter]

The reftype function in module Scalar::Util is good. It returns 'ARRAY' for any array reference, even if it's blessed.

[swampyankee]

The ref function will return "ARRAY" if its argument is an unblessed array reference.

[jdporter]

Right. That makes it inappropriate as an isArray function, since it returns false for some arrays.

If you work with normal array variables (not a reference ones), then you will never need such function. The sigil @ tells your right away that it's an array.
