I'm trying to clean up a list to take rubbish away from the top and the bottom (it's a stack trace from a dbic/dancer app).

This works: 

perl -MList::MoreUtils -E '
@foo = reverse List::MoreUtils::before {
    $_ =~ /DBIC/
} reverse List::MoreUtils::before { 
    $_ =~ /Dancer/
} qw<eval DBIC::3 DBIC::2 DBIC::1 MyApp::3 MyApp::2 MyApp::1 Dancer::3
+ Dancer::2 Dancer::1>; 

say for @foo'

But it looks to me like there should be a more readable way of writing this. I had a look at using a flip-flop, but it seems that that would also require two reverses.

Any suggestions how to make this more readable?
