+Glob elements can be extracted through the postfix dereferencing feature:

Postfix array and scalar dereferencing I<can> be used in interpolating
strings (double quotes or the C<qq> operator), but only if the
$aref->@[ ... ]; # same as @$aref[ ... ]
$href->@{ ... }; # same as @$href{ ... }
-Postfix key/value pair slicing is not I<yet> implemented, but will
-behave as expected:
+Postfix key/value pair slicing, added in 5.20.0 and documented in
+L<the KeyE<sol>Value Hash Slices section of perldata|perldata/"Key/Value Hash
+Slices">, also behaves as expected:
$aref->%[ ... ]; # same as %$aref[ ... ]
$href->%{ ... }; # same as %$href{ ... }
As with postfix array, postfix value slice dereferencing I<can> be used
in interpolating strings (double quotes or the C<qq> operator), but only
-if the additional C<postderef_qq> feature is enabled.
