Re: How to create loop in perl dynamically

Also, from perldoc perlop:

Binary ".." is the range operator, which is really two different operators depending on the context. In list context, it returns a list of values counting (up by ones) from the left value to the right value. If the left value is greater than the right value then it returns the empty list. The range operator is useful for writing "foreach (1..10)" loops and for doing slice operations on arrays. In the current implementation, no temporary array is created when the range operator is used as the expression in "foreach" loops, but older versions of Perl might burn a lot of memory when you write something like this:
    
      for (1 .. 1_000_000) {
               # code
           }

By default the loop variable is held in `$_` but you can assign to a variable if you wish. It is not a good idea to alter loop variables inside the loop, that leads to all sorts of grief. `$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' > foreach my $outer ( 1 .. 3 ) > { > foreach my $inner ( 7 .. 9 ) > { > say qq{$outer x $inner = @{ [ $outer * $inner ] }}; > } > }' 1 x 7 = 7 1 x 8 = 8 1 x 9 = 9 2 x 7 = 14 2 x 8 = 16 2 x 9 = 18 3 x 7 = 21 3 x 8 = 24 3 x 9 = 27 $` [download] I hope this is helpful.

`foreach my $foo (1 .. $x)` ... creates a local variable named `$foo` which contains the current index for this particular loop. Never use `$_` for this purpose, usually.
