list returned from function

hotshot has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi guys !

Is there a short way to get the x entry of an array returned from a function?

example:

# if I have the function myFunc() that returns an list
# I would like to get somehow the 5 element of the list returned:

$elem = myFunc()[5];    # of course that doesn't work

anyone?
