Well, not to drift off-topic but it is my
understanding that it is general Debian poli
Hi,
A little problem I encountered recently.
I have an array of integers and two indexes within

looking for something analogous to these idioms
for files and arrays respectively:
while() {
# do stuff
}
foreach (@array) {
# do stuff
}
When I had to do this I split the scalar in an

here, though I wouldn't mind hearing more
substantive criticisms. That i
