Hard to say exactly what it is you want (you use the word "array" without using any arrays), but here's a shot:

#!perl -l

my @seq = qw/ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 /;

for (1 .. 5) {
    print "frame $_: ", getframe($_,@seq);
}

sub getframe {
    my ($n,@in) = @_;
    $n--;
    return join '', @in[ $n .. $#in ];
}

__END__

frame 1: 1234567890
frame 2: 234567890
frame 3: 34567890
frame 4: 4567890
frame 5: 567890

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.
