Update: Argh! I just re-read the node and discovered I just wrote a bad re-implementation of esskar's code.
Update2:
Here is essentially what I was thinking, implemented correctly:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @array = qw( a..a b...b c....c d.....d e......e f.......f g........
+g h.........h i..........i j.j k..k l...l );
foreach (
do {
my @subset = splice( @array,0,8 );
my @chunk = @subset[1..6];
}
) {
s/\.//g;
print $_,"\n";
}
Here is what I orginally posted:
And on that note...
my @chunk = splice(@array,0,8);
s/\.//g foreach (@smallchunk);
Or skipping the intermediate array:
s/\.//g foreach ( splice(@array,0,8) );
I suppose I should test that code. I think in Perl, but I have the vocabulary of a two-year-old ;)

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).
