Hi MynameisAchint,
To really get the help you want it will be wonderful if you follow the advice giving in How do I post a question effectively?.

...I wish to run a for loop for that array...
Instead of using a for loop as used in C, why not use for/foreach as Perl like thus: 

  my @array_data = qw( 21 45 perl 28 monks);

   foreach my $data (@array_data){
     print $data,"\n";
   }

Update:
However, if you want to iterate over the array, using the index of the array, Perl also does that for you very cleanly. 
 my @array_data = (21,45,'perl',28,'monks',' ','togo');

   for my $num (0..$#array_data){
     print $num,': ',$array_data[$num],"\n";
   }

0: 21
1: 45
2: perl
3: 28
4: monks
5:  
6: togo

Please, note that I used foreach and for inter-changeably.
And please don't forget that array index start from 0 and not 1, as used in your OP for loop.
Hope this helps

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
