If you've actually seen that, I hope the node had acquired some corrective replies.

Perhaps what you've actually seen is:

for (my $i = 0, $i < $#arr, $i++) {
#corrections  ^      ^^           ^
#strictly speaking, the commas instead of semis are merely my preferen
+ces
    do something...;
}

because the line you posted won't even compile... whereas the example in this node is basicly a C-style loop, possible written that way to show the counter.

C:\>perl -E "my @arr=qw(foo bar baz);for (my $x = 0; $x < @arr; $x++){
+ say $x };"
