You really should try out one of the more recent Perls.

No, it's not just a thought.  

% perl56 -e 'print "Item $_\n" for qw( foo bar quux )'
Item foo
Item bar
Item quux

But you're thinking along the right lines!

reversable foreach ()?

[Ed Mills]

I really like

  (do something) if (something is TRUE);

as opposed to

  if (something is TRUE) {do something}

Just personal taste I guess, but to me the former is a nice Perlism.

So what about

   (do something) foreach (some list);

i.e.

   print foreach (@l);

as opposed to

   foreach (@l) {print}


Just a thought..
