I always found splice to be a good way to slice an array. Here is an example that you can play with. I am assuming that you always want the last element from each inner array.

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my @arry = (
   [qw(one two three)],
   [qw(foo bar baz)],
);

my @new;
push @new, splice(@$_,$#$_,1) for @arry;

print Dumper \@new;

The third argument of '1' for splice is not necessary in this case, but i recommend keeping it in case you decide to remove only one element from any other position. ;)

Hope this works for you.

• 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).
