Yes, but where do you add in the "/" before the names of the directories under root? I just didn't see any other way to do that except a loop.

$_ = "/$_" for @arrray;

Shift removes the first element of an array. This isn't a big deal, because that element is in $_, so I can still use it, but there is no need to keep storing it after that point.

@array = (1 .. 10); 
 
foreach (@array) { 
   shift(@array); 
   print; 
}
