I'm to see whether an element is in an array using ~~. Apparently, perl is treating an array slice as a scalar (size of slice): 
my @ar = (0..10);
my @ar2 = @ar[1..4];
for my $i (@ar) {
    # matches for $i==4 only
    print "$i ~~ slice? ", isTrue($i ~~ @ar[1..4])

    # matches properly
    print "\t$i ~~ ar2? ", isTrue($i ~~ @ar2), "\n";
}

sub isTrue {
    return ($_[0])?"true":"false";
}

I can use grep for this, but still. v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

In reply to bug? why does this ~~ smart match to an array slice fail? by flies
