Here is something to try,
my $line = "1!2!3!4!5!6!7!8!9";
my @arr = split /!/, $line;
my @indices = (2,5..8); #just remember indexing starts at 0.
print join(" : ", @arr);#original
print "\n";
print join(" : ", @arr[2,5..8]);#explicit
print "\n";
print join(" : ", @arr[@indices]);#predefined
Output
1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9
3 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9
3 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9
Update
Just thought of another quick way to do this...
my $line = "1!2!3!4!5!6!7!8!9";
my @arr = split /!/, $line;
my @exclude = (2,5..8); #just remember indexing starts at 0.
#set the elements to nothing and then filter them out.
@arr[@exclude] = ();
@arr = grep $_, @arr;
Just another thought,

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).
