How to divide one array into two arrays?

The context in which i am asking this, is i am reading lines out of a text file, and am going to divide them into three seperate arrays in order to replcae one, and then 'put the text file back together'.

I would like to know how to divide an array into two seperate bits.
For example i expect it may be a fuction like so:

code:
my (@array1,@array2) = divide(@originalarray,5);

This obviously isn't correct, but hypothetically if it was, it would divide '@originalarray' at the '5 value' mark - and place the first part in @array1 and the seocnd half in @array2. If you follow me and understand what i am trying to do, any help is greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
