can't it be done without a repeatiton loop?
You want to repeat an action without a loop?
Well, I suppose you could do
from_to($menu_files[0], 'ISO-8859-7', 'UTF-8') if @menu_files >= 1;
from_to($menu_files[1], 'ISO-8859-7', 'UTF-8') if @menu_files >= 2;
from_to($menu_files[2], 'ISO-8859-7', 'UTF-8') if @menu_files >= 3;
from_to($menu_files[3], 'ISO-8859-7', 'UTF-8') if @menu_files >= 4;
die("Need more!") if @menu_files >= 5;
Does it count as a loop if the repeating is done by the person rather than the computer?
Or if all you want to do is hide the loop
sub from_to_multi {
my $fr = shift;
my $to = shift;
from_to($_, $fr, $to) for @_;
}
from_to_multi('ISO-8859-7', 'UTF-8', @menu_files);
But then you end up with two loops. One to place the elements on the stack, and one to process the elements on the stack.

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).
