in thread What’s the best way to get the last N elements of a Perl array?

Beware: What does that solution do, if $n > @source?

See:

$ perl -le '@a = 1..3; @b = @a[(@a-5)..$#a]; print "<$_>" for @b;'
<2>
<3>
<1>
<2>
<3>

[Utilitarian]

@last_n=@source[(@source-$n)..$#source]if ($n<=@scource);

Would be the solution there I guess
