FOREACH loops
The FOREACH construct takes advantage of perl's builtin list features by easily iterating over an entire array. The syntax is
foreach SCALAR ( LIST ) {
STATEMENTS;
}
Each time through the loop, SCALAR is assigned the next element in the LIST,
and the STATEMENTS are executed.
- The loop flow can be modified using next and last, as in the DO loop.
- The braces are mandatory.
foreach $instrument ("violin","viola","cello","bass") {
print($instrument," is lighter than a \n");
}
print("harp\n");
