for my $i(0..$#array) {   #same thing as your C-like for
    stuff;

Personally, I find for-as-foreach more useful: Try make: `for my $i (0 .. $#array) { ... }` [download] efficiently do something like: `for ($i=0; $i < @array; $i += ROWSIZE) { ... }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes. using foreach you have to do something terribly contorted and crazily inefficient. Like that. Thank you for so adeptly illustrating my point.	[reply]
