I might be imagining this, but I thought I remembered reading something that
said such a variable was being considered for Perl 6. In the mean time, if you
must have the array index, just do something like this:

my @array = qw(one two three four five);
for (0..$#array){
        print "array index $_ is $array[$_]\n";
}

Which prints:

array index 0 is one
array index 1 is two
array index 2 is three
array index 3 is four
array index 4 is five
