in reply to List::MoreUtils before, after and ... between?

How about something along these lines?

shift @array while($array[0] ~~ /DBIC/); pop @array while ($array[$#array] ~~ /Dancer/);

    I think you overlooked the first element of my sample array: 'eval'. It's worse than that, I can get an non-DBIC element in the middle of the DBIC elements.

      Well, obviously you can change the regex to match whatever you need.

      You didn't mention that about the DBICs, that's a more difficult and messy problem.

      It's probably going to be much more successful to look for what you do want, rather than what you don't, so I'd design a regex to do just that ;)
