What would you want it to do?

  1. Iterate on two arrays in paralel: 
    @name = qw(fred wilma barney betty);
@color = qw(black red blonde black);
for $k (0 .. @name - 1) { print $name[$k] . " - " . $color[$k] . "\n" 
+}
# fred - black
# wilma - red
# barney - blonde
# betty - black

  2. Move a sliding window on an array: 
    @name = qw(fred wilma barney betty);
for $k (0 .. @name - 2) { print $name[$k] . " - " . $name[$k + 1] . "\
+n" }
# fred - wilma
# wilma - barney
# barney - betty

  3. Take the elements of the array in twos: 
    @name = qw(fred wilma barney betty);
for $k (0 .. @name/2 - 1) { print $name[2 * $k] . " - " . $name[2 * $k
+ + 1] . "\n" }
# fred - wilma
# barney - betty

  4. Iterate on an array of pairs: 
    @data = (["fred", "black"], ["wilma", "red"], ["barney", "blonde"], ["
+betty", "black"]); 
@color = qw(black red blonde black); for $rec (@data) { my($name, $col
+or) = @$rec; print $name . " - " . $color . "\n" }
# fred - black
# wilma - red
# barney - blonde
# betty - black

Or perhaps even something you would normally do with two levels of loops, like iterating on each combination of two names.
