The for Structure
The for structure works similarly to the for structure
found in C, C++ or Java. It is really syntactic sugar for the
while statement.
Thus:
use strict;
for(Initial_Statement; expression; Increment_Statement) {
For_Statement;
For_Statement;
For_Statement;
}
is equivalent to:
use strict;
Initial_Statement;
while (expression) {
For_Statement;
For_Statement;
For_Statement;
Increment_Statement;
}
