Use an array slice. See `perldoc perldata` and search for /Slices/ or http://perldoc.perl.org/perldata.html#Slices #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; # Make Data::Dumper pretty $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1; $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1; # Set maximum depth for Data::Dumper, zero means unlimited $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 0; my @array = (1, 4, 6, 9, 2); my @list = @array[ 1 .. 3 ]; print Dumper \...@array, \...@list; -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding.
