Yes, it's the same old story with the same old moral:
If you want to look like a fool, post untested code.

This is what I had in mind:

        @a = (undef) x 5;  # any value; it will get overwritten.
        for ( @a ) {
		@$_ = (....);
        }

Now, as for the loop problem: why is the semantics of for as
a statement modifier so different from the normal for?
