Just trying to do below on array stuff

actually iam stuck with the below , so iam putting the following piece of code from my main script
while (<process file delimited by ~ symbol>){
       @data = split(/\~/,$_); # will have around 30 elems
       # $data[23] will have user preference column selection
       # user can enter 3,3-7,4,9-13 etc anything he desires
       $data[23] =~ s/-/\.\./; # convert - to .. perl syntax
       # 23rd elements contains the range entered by user
       # for ex: 2,3-8,11-20 
       # i need to extract only above range ignoring rest
       push(@range,eval $array[23]); # i expanded here
       @range = map { --$_ } @range; # decrementing since array starts
+ from 0
       @range = grep { !$seen{$_}++ } @range; # remove duplicates in c
+ase user enters like 2,1-10 etc
       @range = sort { $a <=> $b } @range; # Sort the indices in ascen
+ding order like 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so on
       my @finalarray = @data[@range];
