Hello, I am looking for a way to print output to my screen in the reverse order that it sits in my array, BUT, without using the reverse command, like i do in my example. Here is my code, at the moment, for printing output to the screen from a file: 
my $input = 'somelist';       # Original Line

open(my $in, "<", $input) or die "Could not open $input because $!\n";
 my @unsorted = <$in>;
  chomp (@unsorted); # get rid of end-of-record markers
 close ($in);
my @sorted = sort @unsorted;
 for (my $i=0; $i <=$#sorted; $i++)
  {
  print $sorted  [$i], "\n";
   }
   
@rocks = reverse(@sorted);

  foreach $rock (@rocks) {
   $rock = "\t$rock"     ;   #  \t is a tab
   $rock .="\n"          ;
                       }
  print "\n";
  print "The names, backwards, are:\n", @rocks;

I know I am close, but not sure how to context the issue. It's in the formatting of the "for (my.." line, I think. Isn't it? Any assistance / hints or pointers would be appreciated in this perplexing matter. Thank you.
