-2 and -1 are the indexes used by split which tells -1 is the last
column selected by split in your case its the bytes column. and -2 is
the country column.To add more the syntax used that is
(split)[-1,-2];

is nothing more than split used like

@arr = split (/ /,$string) ; ######## corrected line
and then later
accessing array with indexes i.e @arr[-1,-2];
