I hope it helps.

Object.extend(Array.prototype, {
    _each: function(iterator) {
                    for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
                    iterator(this[i]);
                },
    clear: function() {
                    this.length = 0;
                    return this;
                },
    first: function() {
                    return this[0];
                },
    last: function() {
                return this[this.length - 1];
                },
    compact: function() {
        return this.select(function(value) {
                                                return value != undefined || value != null;
                                                }
                                            );
        },
    flatten: function() {
            return this.inject([], function(array, value) {
                    return array.concat(value.constructor == Array ?
                        value.flatten() : [value]);
                    }
            );
        },
    without: function() {
        var values = $A(arguments);
                return this.select(function(value) {
                        return !values.include(value);

        for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
        if (this[i] == object) return i;
        return -1;
    },
    reverse: function(inline) {
            return (inline !== false ? this : this.toArray())._reverse();
        },
    shift: function() {
        var result = this[0];
        for (var i = 0; i < this.length - 1; i++)
        this[i] = this[i + 1];
        this.length--;
        return result;

    inspect: function() {
            return '[' + this.map(Object.inspect).join(', ') + ']';
