Paul,
Within the loop, some other programs are executed and occasionally it may take
a few minutes to complete everything and then continue. So I'm just throwing a
little counter to STDOUT so I can monitor the progress, to ensure it doesn't
get hung up somewhere.
I knew of all the different ways

Lot's of people with suggestions, but I have a question --
what are you using $coun
if your looping thru the elements of an array you can always just grab the #
of elements:
$elem = scalar(@array);

You can always do, if you need a loop variable:
foreach my $i (0..$#array) {

No there is not. Either do:
my $i = 0;
for (@foo) {
# ...
}
continue { $i++ }
or do:
for my $i (0 .. $#foo) {
my $element = $foo[$i];
