You must be mistaken about the contents of your array. foreach doesn't skip elements. 

my @data = qw( foo bar baz moo mar );

print("1st - 0 - $data[0]\n");
print("5th - 4 - $data[4]\n");
print("\n");

foreach $name (@data) {
    print "$name\n";
}

1st - 0 - foo
5th - 4 - mar

foo
bar
baz
moo
mar

A good way of determining the contents of an arbitrarily complex data structure (or a simple array) is to use Data::Dumper. 

use Data::Dumper;
my @data = qw( foo bar baz moo mar );
print(Dumper(\@data));

$VAR1 = [
          'foo',
          'bar',
          'baz',
          'moo',
          'mar'
        ];

By the way, the language is called "Perl", not "PERL".
