in reply to Tossing unwanted values from returned list

instead of wasting the trash scalar, you can use LHS undefs: 

(undef, $foo, undef, undef, $bar) =(1..5);
print "$foo $bar";

but in general, I will use split 'in parens with brackets' as you mentioned. It's pretty direct, you don't waste any characters dealing with elements that you're ignoring. 
($foo, $bar) =(1..5)[1,4];
print "$foo $bar";
