Without going for total golf (tempting, but I can resist) I'd still write something like:
my $n = 8;
my $i = 1;
my @array;
push @array, $n--, $i++, $i++, $n-- while $n > $i;
print "@array";
This breaks the rule of not increasing/decreasing the same variable twice in the same statement, but in practise this will work in all versions of perl5. Notice that in fact it wouldn't work if pre-increment/pre-decrement had been used instead of post-increment/post-decrement

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).
