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 HTH, -- Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jedimike.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
