bash
Code:
A=( $(cut -d: -f1,3 /etc/group | tr '\n' ' ') )
echo "Number of elements in array: ${#A[@]}"
echo "Elements of array: ${A[@]}"

To emulate cut:
Code:
open my $group, '<', '/etc/group';
my @groups = map { my @a = split /:/; $a[0] . ':' . $a[2] } <$group>;
close $group;

To create a hash mapped on the group name:
Code:
open my $group, '<', '/etc/group';
my %groups = map { my @a = split /:/; $a[0], $a[2] } <$group>;
close $group;
