in reply to print the array using command line arguements

The problem in your code is the line my @new = @array[join(",",@ARGV)]; because the first element of @ARGV is the program name Fengor writes a 100 times ksh is not perl try
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @array = ( 11,12,13,14,15); #my @new = @array[join(",",@ARGV)]; #my @new = @array[1,3]; my @new = @array[$ARGV[0],$ARGV[1]]; print "@new\n";
