Re: getting array index inside for loop

[JupiterHost.Net]

I have code that uses a 'foreach(@array) {}' to loop through an array. I 
now need to be able to get the array index inside of that. I know I 
could switch to a 'for($loopvar=0;$loopvar<@array;$loopvar++) {}' to do 
that, but I'd have to change some other code also. If not that way, is 
there a way to get the array index inside of a loop like 
'for(0..$#array) {}'?
I've used your last suggestion many times:

 for(0..$#array) { print "Number $_ is $array[$_]\n"; }

or to keep the value in $_ (and a *little* extra work):

 my $ix = 0;
 for(@array) {
   print "Number $ix is $_\n";
   $ix++;
 }
