I know! I know!

1a. Because the compiler ignored the mismatched 'end for' and instead put all of the code up to the next 'end foreach' into the inner loop.

1b. Get a compiler with better error handling.

sub sum { return md5sum(join('',@_)); }
my @non_in_place = reverse @array;
my $correct = sum(@non_in_place);
while ($correct ne sum(@array)) {
    ($a,$b)=(rand(@array),rand(@array));
    @array[$a,$b] = @array[$b,$a];
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
