No, just "bread" on a line, after slicing it... Pretty lame, but
it was the best I could come up with, and couldn't stop myself from
posting it... Would've looked more sliced as you depict it; maybe:
$ perl -e '@b=split //,"bread"; print "@b[0..4]\n"'
b r e a d
(The construct @array[...] in Perl is called an array slice.)
