Re^4: Using an array element as a loop iterator

What he is trying to accomplish in his examples is vague indeed; the foreach loop and the C-style for loop are not functionally equivalent, even if the first was valid syntax. I suspect these are off-the-cuff examples to illustrate his question.

If you don't mind helping me understand, what are the two ways to parse his question? My own post shows how I parsed it. If that is one of the two, no need to rehash it.

(update added first paragraph for clarity)

And another is as I guessed (well, WAGed) at in my prior response to OP. Yes, the WAG presumes both difficulty in expression in English and insufficient knowledge of Perl (based on 2, above) such that the phrasing used is NOT what a better informed Perl coder would use. And, of course, check out the variant meanings of hash, associative array, and similar as used by a Perl coder and a PHP coder.	[reply]
