Btw, `keys@foo` and `0..$#foo` are equally long… but the latter works
with old perls (advantage production) *and* looks more line-noisy
(advantage golf).
And if you have an array to work with in the first place, you can also
@array[map 1+$_*2, 0..$#array/2]
which is 3 characters longer than the grep version in exchange for doing
half as much work. (For even elements, the map and grep solutions would
yield exactly equally long code, with half-as-much-work still applying.)
