What do you think of the following? It needs a package variable of $main::doforeach_index, but providing you don't override this value you can do nested loops galore with an automagic index. Shame it's the wrong way around. I couldn't swap it round, can anyone else? 
use strict;

sub doforeach (&@) {
    my $coderef = shift;


    my $index=0;
    for (@_) {
        no strict "vars";
        $doforeach_index = $index;
        &$coderef;
        $index++;
    }
}
sub doforeach_index () {
    return our $doforeach_index;
}

doforeach { print doforeach_index . "=$_\n" } ('one','two','three');

#prints...
#0=one
#1=two
#2=three
