in thread Surpised by foreach iterator limitation

Bah. I knew that was going to be misinterpreted, but I got lazy.

What I'm saying is that most people don't seem to leap this direction, so we really don't see many posts wondering why it's only a simple scalar.

I tell ya, with all the places I look, I don't see it being questioned very often.

Maybe that's because we do a good job of describing it in the llama, so only non-llama-ites make that leap. {grin}

    My initial impression was that it was a dig, but then I decided I wasn't sure what it meant. I agree it's a rare thing to do. I've coded Perl almost everyday single day since 98 and I just thought to try it now.
