Other monks have given you some good answers to your question above, but I wanted to point out an error in your code in case it wasn't a typo. In your C-ish style loop:
for (my $x = 0; $x < $#arr; $x++) {}
# ^^^^^^^
the condition you're using will prevent the loop from running for the final array element, because you only enter the loop when the counter is strictly less than the last index of the array. To correct it, simply change to one of these:
for (my $x = 0; $x <= $#arr; $x++) {}
# ^^
# up to *and including* the last index
for (my $x = 0; $x < @arr; $x++) {}
# ^
# when used in scalar context, '@arr' returns the number of
# elements in @arr

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
