zapdos has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

$count = 0; while ($count < 10) { $count += 1; print "count is now $count\n"; }

I don't get it. Why is it printing till 10 if the conditional expression asserts it should be less than (<) 10 and not less than or equal (<=) to 10? Shouldn't it print just till 9?
