in reply to Non-destructive array processing

I prefer Perl 6. 
my @array = 1..10;
for @array -> $one, $two {
    my @chunk = ($one, $two);
    print "Chunk: @chunk\n";
}

However, if I need to use Perl 5, I'd pick BrowserUK's method, or something like it. It appears a little overkill for the example, but the example is a bit contrived.

    I prefer Perl 6.

    So do I, so do I...

    Wouldn't for @array -> @chunk[0, 1], &foo work? With @chunk predeclared, of course. (Not that I ever need the chunk as an array. I use it only to store whatever splice returns. I love the Perl 6 syntax.)
