Package: perl
Version: 5.8.4-8sarge4
Severity: wishlist
Syntax like this would be nice:
foreach ($i, $j, $k) (@arr) {
...
}
The effect would be something like this:
for ($_tmp = 0; $_tmp < @arr; $_tmp += 3) {
$i = $arr[$_tmp];
$j = $arr[$_tmp+1];
$k = $arr[$_tmp+2];
warn "non-congruant number of items in foreach" if $_tmp+2 >=
@arr;
{
...
}
}
That warning message is horrible, but... I hope that illustrates the
idea.
Naturally, you could also use my:
foreach (my ($i, $j, $k)) (@arr) {
...
}
[I'm guessing the parentheses around the list of variables would make
parsing easier. That's the only reason I've placed them there.]
