Let's say you have an array of fruit that contains apple, banana, orange, and grape.

@fruits = qw(apple banana orange grapes);

Unshift can be used to add values to the beginning of an array. In this example, pineapple is added to the beginning of the fruits array.

unshift @fruits, 'pineapple';

print @fruits;

Printing the array will show that "pinnapple" has been appended to the beginning of the array.
