An array slice can also be used as an lvalue in an assignment:

  @a = (10, 5, 9, 6, 17, 1);
  @a[3,5,1] = qw(yes no maybe);
  print "@a";

  >> "10 maybe 9 yes 17 no"

In fact, because the slice can be both an lvalue and an rvalue, this is an easy way to transpose elements in-place.

  @a = (10, 5, 9, 6, 17, 1);
  @a[0,4] = @a[4,0];
  print "@a";

  >> "17, 5, 9, 6, 10, 1";
