Re: for vs foreach?

I find that "foreach" does wonders for readability in situations like this:

sub foo {
   my $array = @_;
   foreach ($array) {
      do stuff;
   }
   # ...
}

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Update: I guess the joke doesn't come across as well on screen.

Maybe this is just an inadvertent mistake, but think about what would happen with `foo('bad','llama')`: `sub foo { my $array = @_; foreach ($array) { print "$_\n"; } }` [download] Watch how you assign from an array, because you could end up in jail!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
