in reply to how do foreach and while affect an array?

Neither. Here is an idiom I occasionally use that does empty an array, though: 
my $width = 4;
my @in = "a".."z";
while (my @row = splice(@in, 0, $width)) {
   print "@row\n";
}
__END__
Output:
a b c d
e f g h
i j k l
m n o p
q r s t
u v w x
y z
