Another way is to take advantage of pop's default behaviour of acting on @_ by calling an anonymous subroutine on the fly.
johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
say sub { pop }->( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 );'
9
I hope this is of interest.
Update: Note that shift can work the same way and that both by default operate on @ARGV in the main program.
johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
say sub { shift }->( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 );'
1
johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E 'say pop' a b
+c
c
johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E 'say shift' a
+b c
a

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).
