instead of Rube Goldberg constructs like this:

my $i;
for ($i=0; $i <= $#array; ++$i)
{
   # kludges up down and sideways here
}

is a good idea because it makes it easier for Perl programmers to
maintain.  It's also more efficient on the machine, for what that's
worth.

We were only talking about indentation, David, not the use of idioms.

Best,

David
