in reply to Print from array element to another array element

G'day Dr Manhattan,

What you're attempting to use here are called Array Slices. They take the form: @array_name[<list of indices>]. See perldata - Slices. Your code should look something like this: 

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
    my $word = q{catfood};
    my @array = split // => $word;
    say join q{} => @array[3 .. $#array];
'
food
