I've lost the thread of what is *actually* being attempted here, but...
perl -e '@x = (1..100);$q = [@x[50..$#x]];print "@$q\n"'
which gives you a reference to the values at least.
Of course, that's just evil. If that's what you're trying to do, there
must be a better way to do it. In fact, you should probably forget I
even brought this up.
MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE! :-)
