A slice of an array is a subsequence of its
elements.
# Array assignment:
@primes = (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19);
# Assignment with slices:
@low_primes = @primes[0..3];
@misc_primes = @primes[1,3,5,7];
# Interchanging two array elements:
@low_primes[0,2] = @low_primes[2,0];
# Assignment to a list of scalars:
($one, $two) = (1, 2, 3, 4);
