Could you back up that claim? I just looked at 5.12's perlsyn, and it definitely shows parens required around the list of a foreach loop. I also checked perlop, and didn't see anything different there.	[reply]

Oh, one of the examples in one of the tutorials is missing the parens. I wouldn't call that proof of support.	[reply]
