Hi listendohg,

I see that you figured out a solution. Here's a way that you might find simpler using array slices: 

#/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say';

my @x = ( 1 .. 100 );
my @y = @x[ 0 .. 9 ];
my @z = @x[ -10 .. -1 ];

say join ',', @y;
say join ',', reverse @z;

__END__

Output: 
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
100,99,98,97,96,95,94,93,92,91

If you don't know how many elements there are in your array: 
my @y = @x[ 0 .. 9 ];
my @z = @x[ $#x-9 .. $#x ];

Note that unlike in your solution which makes new lists, changing the values in @y or @z will change the original array @x.

Hope this helps!

Edit: add example without specified indices.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
