Btw, `keys@foo` and `0..$#foo` are equally long=E2=80=A6 but the latter w=
orks
with old perls (advantage production) *and* looks more line-noisy
(advantage golf).

And if you have an array to work with in the first place, you can also

    @array[map 1+$_*2, 0..$#array/2]

which is 3 characters longer than the grep version in exchange for doing
half as much work. (For even elements, the map and grep solutions would
yield exactly equally long code, with half-as-much-work still applying.)
