This isn't a stupid question... however, if you provided a little more
context, perhaps we might be of more help.  If you run

perldoc perlvar

You'll get more information than you ever wanted on Perl's "magical"
built-in variables.  When I did this, though, I didn't find anything
special about a "$i" variable, so I'm not sure what you're asking.
Hence the "more context" stuff.

(Also, John Vromans' excellent "Perl 5 Pocket Reference" is handy for
these kinds of questions, too.)

As far as I know, $i is just a user-specified scalar variable.  Is
there a specific problem you're having?
