The document discusses various ways to clear or empty an array in Perl. It provides 14 different code examples of subroutines that can remove all elements from an array, such as using shift, splice, deleting indices, setting the last index to -1, and undefining the array. Benchmark tests on arrays with 1000 elements show that shift while the array is not empty and deleting indices have better performance than other approaches like undefining the array.
