Re: can we pass two variable to foreach loop

in reply to can we pass two variable to foreach loop

Adding to the suggestions by BrowserUk, Zaxo and grinder, another possible solution would be to use each_array from List::MoreUtils. It is a bit of overkill for your current case, but it would work well if you generalized your problem to:

foreach my ($x,$y) (@name,@lastname)
{
  do something
}

Only that it would be written as:

use List::MoreUtils qw(each_array);
...
my $names = each_array(@name, @lastname);
while ( my ($x, $y) = $names->() )
{ 
   do something
}

With each_array, you may create an iterator which is able to loop over more than one array at once. That easy.
