I don't know whether you always use the @a[0] style syntax for retrieving an array value but that won't pass warnings. When you retreive a scalar you change the '@' sigil to a '$' so it reads $a[0]. Also, an alternative would be assign $" = '' and just fetch list slices. I bring this up only because it is poor perl style and I'd hate for you to carry that over into your real code. Also, you wouldn't normally have four print statements. Either concatenate that into a single string or leave it as a list.

print "@a[0 .. 3] ",
    "@b[0, 1, 4, 2, 3]",
    "@c[3, 4, 0, 1, 4, 0] ",
     "@b[3, 0, 2, 3, 3, 4]\n";

The preceding is further reduced to the simple and beautiful: 

@a = split //, "justin";
@b = split //, "anthony";
@c = split //, "peter";
@d = split //, "lucky";
$" = '';
$\ = "\n";
$, = " ";
print
    "@a[0 .. 3]",
    "@b[0, 1, 4, 2, 3]@c[3, 4]",
    "@c[0, 1, 4]$d[0]",
    "@b[3, 0]@d[2, 3]@c[3, 4]";
