Now it's written:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

my @list = (
    [qw(a)],
    [qw(a b)],
    [qw(a b c)],
);

for (@list){
    print join_english(@$_), $/;

}

sub join_english {
    return $_[0] if @_ < 2;
    my $last = pop @_;
    return join(', ', @_), ' and ' . $last;
}

I don't know if that's worth a module, if you think so, you could upload it to CPAN as Lingua::List::English or something. I searched for lingua list and found nothing, but maybe I overlooked something.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
