📖 DESCRIPTION

This module gives direct access to some of the internal Perl routines that let you store things in arrays and hashes. The following functions are available:

• av_store(@array, $index, $value) — Stores $value in @array at the specified $index. After executing this call, $array[$index] and $value denote the same thing.
• av_push(@array, $value) — Pushes $value onto the @array. After executing this call, $array[-1] and $value denote the same thing.
• hv_store(%hash, $key, $value) — Stores $value in the %hash with the given $key. After executing this call, $hash{$key} and $value denote the same thing.
