What do you think of the following?
It needs a package variable of $main::doforeach_index, but providing you don't override this value you can do nested loops galore with an automagic index. Shame it's the wrong way around. I couldn't swap it round, can anyone else?
use strict;
sub doforeach (&@) {
my $coderef = shift;
my $index=0;
for (@_) {
no strict "vars";
$doforeach_index = $index;
&$coderef;
$index++;
}
}
sub doforeach_index () {
return our $doforeach_index;
}
doforeach { print doforeach_index . "=$_\n" } ('one','two','three');
#prints...
#0=one
#1=two
#2=three

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).
