AFAIK, they aren't any different. 'for' is typically used with C-style
loops or aliasing in a switch-like block, or when you are declaring an
explicit loop variable, and foreach is used for brevity, when you aren't
declaring a loop variable. Perl, unlike a lot of other programming
languages, mimics natural languages, and we have synonyms in a lot of
places.
Use what you like, but like what you use!
