I am working my through Perl and grasping some of it! The code below has me puzzled though, can anyone explain it: 

for($i = 1; $i <= $ItemCount; $i+=1) {
  print "Item $i is $ItemList[$i][3]\n",
    "  Name: $ItemList[$i][0]\n",
    "  Amount: $ItemList[$i][1]\n",
    "  Process: $ItemList[$i][2]\n\n";
}

I understand the "for loop" fine. It is the next part that puzzles me. I know the format $itemlist[x] refers to position x in the array @itemlist but what does the $ItemList[$i][0] refer to? Basically, what is that $i doing in there! Thanks
