Can we both agree on this:
In Perl, the keywords "for" and "foreach" are identical. In many other languages, the two words stand for two different kinds of loops
No, only if you change that to "many languages, including Perl".
perlsyn has a heading called "for loops", and a heading called "foreach loops". I'm going to quote that as an authority, as it was written by the only authority who really matters. Therefore, Perl has for loops, and foreach loops, and overlapping keywords. "for" and "foreach" are not the same in that sentence.

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).
