untested but same as perl5:

splice @list, 0, $N;

I know about shift, but that is one at a time.  I suppose I

Many thanks,

Hi Norman,

That was easy.   Thank you!

-T

perl6 -e 'my @foo = ; @foo.splice(0,3); say @foo;'
[d e f g]

@foo.splice(1,3); say @foo;'
[a e f g]

from the beginning of an array?
