In the OP, a notation that looked like [x:y], where x or y could be blank, was given. I noted this equivalence:

PythonPerl
[x:y]splice ARRAY, x, y
[:y]splice ARRAY, 0, y
[x:]splice ARRAY, x
[:]splice ARRAY, 0

I coded that and it passed all tests. I took all given tests, and their results, on face value. One exception is [:], which I added myself and was extrapolated from information already provided.

If the original data was wrong in some way, then I'm working from a false premise. If the tests are insufficient, further tests could show that the seen equivalence doesn't hold for other values.

I'm not trying to sell something here. I don't care what the OP uses for his "poetry" project — as already stated: "What you choose is entirely up to you.".

If you think that there's something wrong with the source, please take it up with the OP, not me.
