in reply to Line number problem with foreach

This worked for me:

open my $fh, "test.txt" or die $!;
while(<$fh>) {
   print "$.:$_";
}
__END__
outputs:
1:First line
2:Second line
3:Third line
4:Fourth line

    I know while loop will work. But I wanted why it is behaving differently with foreach.
