You could use a classic C-style loop, and array slicing:
my @a=(0..12); # Admittedly, not the best choice for variable names...
my @b;
for (my $i=0; $i <= $#a; $i+=5) {
push @b,join(',', @a[$i..$i+4]);
print qq[ $i:$a[$i]=@b \n];
}
# @b ends up with comma-separated, 5-element (or less for last chunk)
+ chunks of @a
Update: This is NON-Destructive on @a, compared to the ikegami's solution above. Not that there is anything wrong with being destructive, if you know what you are doing.

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).
