ok.. it would help to know what was in $p and what you were trying to do. for(;;) loops aren't as commonly used in Perl as they are in C as there are often more convenient idioms.

#Assume @p is a list of numbers?
my @p=(0..10); 


for($x = $prevmax;$x<=$max;$x++){   
      $n = sqrt($x);
      $i = 0;
      #Dividing by 0 is always an error... make sure $p[$i] is true
      while ( ($p[$i]) && ($x%$p[$i] !=0) ) {
         $i++;         
         if (($n < $p[$i]) && ($x > $p[-1])) { 
            print (1 & ($x > $p[-1])); # <--what are you expecting her
+e
            push(@p,$x."\n");
            last;
         }
      }
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
