Re^2: Little annoying mistakes ... of others

This is worse:

for (my $i = 0; $i < $#names; $i++)
    {
    print $names[$i];
    }

Worse? That's the One True Way. However, for one-liners, horizontal alignment is preferable, i.e.:

for (my $i = 0; $ <= @names; $i++)
   { print $names[$i] }

Given the C code. Hey, sometimes Perl is useful as a C prototyper.

The funniest part is that all three for-loops (parent, this, and child) are wrong (which only is a great defense of the whole point). The correct versions are

for (my $i = 0; $i <= $#names; $i++) { ... }

# or

for (my $i = 0; $i < @names; $i++) { ... }

You guys had $i < $#names and $i <= @names. :-)
