Let's say you have an array of fruit that contains apple, banana, orange, and grape.
my @fruits = qw(apple banana orange grapes);
Push can be used to add values to the end of an array. In this example, pineapple is added to the fruits array.
push @fruits, 'pineapple';
If pineapple is in a variable, do not use the single quotes.
push @fruits, $pineapple;
The array can be printed.
print @fruits;
Printing the array will show that "pineapple" has been appeneded to the end of the array.
