in thread Trying to slice off all array elements but the last one

It's also not what the OP wanted. The idea was to slice the array non-destructively Messing with $#foo is also very mean to your maintainer(s). It's the very definition of action-at-a-distance. In other words, Don't do this unless you know exactly why you shouldn't.
