So everyone has explained why this behavior happens, and I've been bitten by this myself. Every time that I code 
for $i ( 1 .. $foo ) {
  last if bar($i);
}
print $i;

or something like it, I end up having to change that to 
for( $i = 1; $i <= $foo; $i++ ) {
  last if bar($i);
}
print $i;

I want to still use foreach, but I never can, so I end up using C-style for more and more these days. Is there any good idiom that uses foreach, but yet still lets me access the variables afterwards? (And no, the chunk is far too small for a subroutine.)
