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".

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
