How to get an array except the last element using slice?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I want to get an array without the last element. But it seems the last
line does not do what I want. I'm wondering what is the correct way to
do it.

Thanks,
Peng

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

my @array = ('a' , 'b', 'c' , 'd');

print "@array\n";
print "@array[0,3]\n";
print "@array[0..2]\n";
print "@array[-1]\n";
print "@array[0..-1]\n"; #I want an array except the last element.

print "@array[0..-1]\n"; #I want an array except the last element.

May not be the best way, but this should do what you want:
print "@array[0..$#array-1]\n"; #I want an array except the last element.
