Greetings Most Revered Ones,

I have come across this several times already in my brief perl programming history and wonder if there is a short-cut key (or something) I'm missing. Your insight is appreciated.

What I'd like to do is access the values in each element of the array and the index...

Here are the two ideas I have... Is there a better way? 
#Sample 1.
$n=0;
foreach $i( @array ) {
 #do something with $i
 #do something with $n
 $n++;
}
#Sample 2.
foreach $i( 0..$#array ){
 #do something with $array[$i]
 #do something with $i
}

Thanks again, Brad
