: Neither was I, but I suspect the reason is that if you need a : counter, you should not be using "foreach". Instead, use "for": : for(my $counter = 0; $counter < @array; ++$counter) { : do_something_with($array[$counter]); : }Why is that form favored over this typical foreach form? foreach my $counter ( 0 .. $#array ) { do_something_with( $counter ); }
or that way w/ for (and why declare a new var only to use it once...) do_something_with($_) for(0..$#array); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
