Yep, just leave off the "$element" from the statement you wrote. Then you
can use $_ for the current element.
Example:
@array = ("first", "second", "third", "fourth");
foreach (@array) {
print "$_\n";
}
would print
first
second
third
fourth

Subject: Special Name for @ Element
Hi all,
Is there a special name (like $_) to identify the array element being
addressed as in the following code:
foreach $element (@array) { do something };
In other words, the above iterates thru the array finding elements
$array[0..n]. Can I tell the specific element being enumerated using a perl
special name? Obviously an index counter will do the trick but a perlish way
would be cool. Thanks.
Bob
