in thread Skipping Elements in an Array

Problems:
  1. The array is called @Array, not @_.
  2. Modifying an array you're looping over isn't well defined.
  3. It will attempt to skip over 2 elements for all strings less than 3 characters, not just strings of exactly 2 characters.

    my @Array   = ('AAA','BB','CCCC','DD','EEEEE','FFF','GGGG');
my @Skipped = split' ..( \S+){3}',"@Array";

print "@Skipped"

__END__

STDOUT: AAA  EEEEE  FFF GGGG

Right?

      That would fail if the strings contain spaces.
