Current Perl documentation can be found at perldoc.perl.org.
Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:
Use for/foreach:
for (@lines) {
s/foo/bar/; # change that word
y/XZ/ZX/; # swap those letters
}
Here's another; let's compute spherical volumes:
for (@volumes = @radii) { # @volumes has changed parts
$_ **= 3;
$_ *= (4/3) * 3.14159; # this will be constant folded
}
If you want to do the same thing to modify the values of the hash, you may not use the values function, oddly enough. You need a slice:
for $orbit ( @orbits{keys %orbits} ) {
($orbit **= 3) *= (4/3) * 3.14159;
}
