The problem of your code is that 1 .. -1 is an empty list for perl.
So you have to use the splice command directly
(the [x...y] form is only a shortcut for)
my @array = splice( @{[split( /\s+/, $fContent[$i] )]}, 1 );
There's a second possibility,
which one is a little bit shorter and trickier:
my @array = grep {$foo++} split ( /\s+, $fContent[$i] );
Of course I only use it one liners,
because it hides what you are really doing,
what's always a sign of bad programming.
However TMTWTDI.
Hope, I could help you,
Best Wishes,
