I've just seen a variant of this operator, the twin baby cart, "@{[...]}[...]" come up in golf. The original context is the golf task http://golf.shinh.org/p.rb?hello+hello+world where it's used by the winner perl entries by tails and tybalt89.
This combines list slice indexing with interpolation of the baby cart operator, and is particularly useful because the array interpolation makes sure spaces (the default value of $") are added between the items. An example is:
"@{[zero,one,two,three,four,five]}[3,1,4,1,5]"
has the result "three one four one five".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
