Subject: break from select

Hi,

    I have an array like a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]
    I need to select elements which are divisible by 2 and select only
5 elements.

    col = a.select do |e|
      e %2 == 0
    end

    I get all the elements into col which are divisible by 2 and working
fine.

    what if I want to select only 5 elements
    I am trying below code
    i = 0
     col = a.select do |e|
      i += 1
      break if i > 5
      e %2 == 0
    end

    Now col returns nil.
    Also used return but getting error.

    Any solution for this.

Thanks,
Venkat
