If I want to count from zero in steps I have used. 

print $_,'' for map{$_*5} 0 .. 5
0 5 10 15 20 25

You could also do 

foreach ( ('a'..'z')[map{$_*5}0..5] ) { 
    print $_,''; 
}
a f k p u z

or for an array 

@array = (0..50)
foreach ( @array[map{$_*5} 0..@array/5] ) { 
    print $_,''; 
}
0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50

Or for a hash 

@hash{'a'..'z'} = (1..26);

foreach ( (keys %hash)[map{$_*5}0 .. (scalar keys %hash)/5] ) { 
print "hash{$_} = $hash{$_}\n"; 
}
hash{a} = 1
hash{f} = 6
hash{k} = 11
hash{p} = 16
hash{u} = 21
hash{z} = 26

Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.
