Filter out every second value of a list, starting with the first

my $t = 1;
grep { $t^=1 } LIST

my $t = 1;
grep { $t = 1-$t } LIST
[download]

my $t = 1;
grep { ++$t % 2 } LIST
[download]

map { $_%2 ? $ARRAY[$_] : () } 0..$#ARRAY

Transform a list based on odd/even-ness of index

my $t = 1;
map { ($t^=1) ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } LIST
[download]

my $t = 1;
map { ($t = 1-$t) ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } LIST
[download]

my $t = 1;
map { (++$t % 2) ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } LIST
[download]

map { $_%2 ? EXPR_FOR_ODD : EXPR_FOR_EVEN } 0..$#ARRAY

Example:

>perl -le"$t=1; print map { ($t^=1) ? uc : lc } qw( a b c d e );"
