My intention also wasn't to write it in the shortest possible way. If I had been golfing, I think I would have posted something else. (As there's so many redundant whitespace in my code... ) My intention was to show that foreach and for can be interchanged. This is hard if you come from C (as I do) but if you're a "native" Perl speaker this is easy and saves you lots of typing. Another thing that I really like about Perl is that you can leave away parentheses in so many places and the fact that this can really improve readability. Again, this is a little hard for C programmers... -- mhx P.S.: Even shorter: Assuming you have the invaluable Data::Dumper module already loaded.
