Imagine this instead:

  print 'The names of lists we currently support are:',"\n";
  @list = ($i = 0, $i < @lists, $i++);
  for (@list) {
    print $i;
    print $lists[$i],"\n";
  }

It is the same thing.  You have a list of three elements in the for loop,
and $i is set to 0 + 1 for each iteration (since it was only set once).
