I'm missing something really stupid here, I know... but I'm asking anyway ;) 
$foo = "a c e g i k m o q s u w y";

@bar = split(/ /, $foo);

$i = -1;
foreach $foo(@bar) {
     $i++;
     delete @bar[$i] unless $i eq 2 || $i eq 4 || $i eq 6;
}
push(@bar,t);

The above will take every second letter of the alphabet, and spit out everything but "i" "m" and "e", and throwing in "t", so that when run, it gives a printout of "eimt". How would I sort this to give "time" instead? I tried messing with split/join, but when I throw in a scalar, I tend to get a numeric character instead.
