But he wants it in a loop! So, I propose:
do {1;} until print <<"*";

Would your teacher accept this?
perl -E 'say for (" *", " **", "***" )[0,1,2,1,0]'
(Probably not, but it might be worth the 'F' just to see the look on your teacher's face.)

So many possibilities! The next one, however requires some human interaction:
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Ssssshhh! Please turn your monitor first (otherwise the pyramid
+ might not point to the correct direction).\n";
my $Ss = '*';
my $ss = 2;
my $sS = $Ss x $ss;
for (0..$ss)
{
print "\n". $sS. $Ss. reverse $sS; $sS =~ s/\S/ /;
}

No explicit loop, just recursion and repetition: $p=1;sub p{my$x=shift;$x||exit;say" "x(3-$x),"*"x$x;$p=-1if$x>2;p($x+$
+p)}p 1
Update: Not so funny in C:#include<stdio.h>
int p,n;void q(int x){int j;if(!x)return;for(j=1;j<=n-x;j++)printf(" "
+);for(j=1;j<=x;j++)printf("*");printf("\n");if(x>=n)p=-1;q(x+p);}void
+ main(){printf("Enter the number of columns: ");scanf("%d",&n);p=1;q(
+1);}
