Oops, adjusted:
my @b = @{ reduce { push @$a, $b if !@$a || $b ne $a->[-1]; $a } [], @
+a };
If one were to make a list version of reduce, the callback would need access to three variables: The list (say $_), the state (say $a), the current value (say $b). The problem could be solved as follows:
my @b = list_reduce { push @$_, $b if !@$_ || $b ne $_->[-1]; undef }
+undef, @a;
my @b = list_reduce { push @$_, $b if $a || $b ne $_->[-1]; 0 } 1, @a;
my @b = list_reduce { push @$_, $b if defined($b) && $b ne $a; $b } un
+def, @a;
my @b = list_reduce { push @$_, grep defined && $_ ne $a, $b; $b } und
+ef, @a;
(@a may not start with undef for the last two to work properly.)
Update: Added everything after the first block of code.

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).
