Re^2: using foreach with a regex

whenever you can one, you can also use the other instead.

Almost.

>perl -le"sub for { print 1 } sub foreach { print 2 } &for;"
1

>perl -le"sub for { print 1 } sub foreach { print 2 } &foreach;"
2

and

>perl -le"print 'for';"
for

>perl -le"print 'foreach';"

Well, you cannot (unless you want to include fatal (run time) errors in 'not getting the same result'). `$ perl -wE 'sub for {say "Hello"} &for' Hello $ perl -wE 'sub foreach {say "Hello"} &for' Undefined subroutine &main::for called at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
