You probably need two counters then--one outside the loop, and one inside. There
is a Perl variable that representsthe loop counter also, but you might as well be
explicit, since your focus seems to be on the loop count.
Can you tell us what your overall purose is? That would give us a much better
idea of what advice to give.
