In C one of the most common errors to make is an off-by-one
error. If you use explicit for loops in Perl, you will
make the same error just as often. This is a good reason
to use foreach loops whenever possible.
I mention this because your second observation has an
off-by-one in it. The odds of an off-by-one can be
reduced, though, by:
foreach my $i (0..$#filenames) {
# ...
}
since that removes an inequality that people may miswrite.
An even cleaner solution is offered by tye at
mapcar -- map for more than one list.

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).
