Yes, that is exactly what is being suggested, but the "indexof" function
is implicit in the attribute. Your code becomes
print "Found It at position ${_:n}!\n" if /$seek/

If we are going to be throwing around attributes like that, why
don't we switch to using the ubiquitously recognizable dot instead
of colon?

What would really be nice here is an Cindex function, similar to the
scalar version, that returns the index of the matching entry in a list. For
instance:
my $n=0;
foreach (@items){
print "Found It at position $n!\n" if /$seek/;
$n++;
}
Could be replaced by:

Well if there ever is a way to shortcut grep this could be genera;ized

Wouldn't this also assume that grep return the number of times the block was
