in thread Learning Perl as a First (programming) language
If you are going to explain how Perl lets you learn, why don't you show that in the form that beginning programmers should learn?
Less mechanics to remember, and no possible confusion over off by one errors. Or even in this case (depending on which way the example was going to develop) just:for my $i (0..9) { print $i; }
Either of these is more convincing than writing Perl like a C refugee.print 0..9;
