My fingers are saved some work? Honestly, 'for' and 'foreach' are interchangeable in Perl syntax. Just read perlsyn.

Thanks for that link. Interestingly enough, at the bottom of the foreach section in that document, this is written:
And it's faster because Perl executes a foreach statement more rapidly than it would the equivalent for loop.
So you might want to consider typing those four extra letters. :)

Context, context, context.
The foreach keyword is actually a synonym for the for keyword, so you can use foreach for readability or for for brevity.
and then later:
And it's faster because Perl executes a foreach statement more rapidly than it would the equivalent for loop.
That second quote (yours) is in regards to for ($i = 0; $i < @array; $i++) { $array[$i] ... } vs. foreach (@array) { $_ ... }
