Re: find the element position of $scalar

[tadman]

Here's a few quick bits of code.

Indexed iteration:

foreach my $i (0..$#array)
{
     print "$i: $array[$i]\n";
}

Regular iteration with incremented tracker:

my $i = 0;
foreach my $e (@array)
{
     print "$i: $e\n";
     $i++;
}

Old-school C-style method:

for (my $i = 0; $i < @array; $i++)
{
     print "$i: $e\n";
}

In this case, I'd say the first is "better" since it requires less code.
