If $self is an array-ref... 

my @slice = @{$self}[0..$n-1];

That ought to do it. The curly brackets are being used in this case for clarity. It can also be expressed like this: 

my @slice = @$self[0..$n-1];

....at least in my test cases that seems to work just fine. ;)

    Thanks.

    In my code, the actual results indicate that the array indexing takes the first element of the list only. But, any idea where the warning about "" not being a numeric argument could be coming from?

      From the ".." flipflop operator in scalar context.
