Re^3: For loop trouble

It's for (EXPR1; EXPR2; EXPR3) {...}. Note that there are semi-colons between the expressions, not commas.

The first expression is run before entering the loop. Before each iteration the second expression is run; if false, the loop terminates. After each iteration, the third expression is run. For further details, see man perlsyn.

Note that there are semi-colons between the expressions, not commas. In this case, the OP has constructed a foreach loop iterating `$_` over a list of three elements: `$i=500, $i=900 , $i += 100`, which evaluates to `500, 900, 1000` and `$i` set to 1000 for ALL iterations of the loop.

Ugh the carelessness.. Thank you, I just needed to realize semi colons were to be used.	[reply]
