Hi AnomalousMonk,

I'm actually running these tests on 5.14.4, and the syntax you've shown is exactly what I was after to shorten the loop: 

for my $num (@$aref) {
    $flag = 1 if $num == 6;
    push $flag ? \@temp : \@result, $num;
    do {@temp = (); $flag = 0;} if $num == 7;
    } 
}
push @result, @temp;
print Dumper \@result;

This is working fine on the few data samples that I used.

I just did not think about using array refs instead of arrays to get the ternary operator to work in this context. Thank you, AnomalousMonk, for showing it, I've just learned something.

That said, the fact that I did not find the right syntax to do it with the ternary operator prompted me to use an array ref in another fashion (instead of a $flag) which is quite concise and, IMHO, relatively elegant.
