Pre ruby 1.9:

require 'enumerator'

def sum(arr)
  total = 0

  arr.each {|elmt| total += elmt}
  #faster than the ponderously slow inject method

  total
end

results = []
arr = Array.new(15) {|i| i}
p arr

arr.each_slice(10) do |portion|
  results << sum(portion)
end

p results

--output:--
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
[45, 60]
