I've been trying to map out the rules that govern manipulation of
$[. Basically what I want to do is something like:
@rray = ( 'foo', 'bar', 'spam', 'eggs' );
for ($calar=0; $calar < @rray; $[++) {
print "$rray[$calar]";
}
but when I run the above code I get
That use of $[ is unsupported at obf.pl line 2. The below code sort of works, but the value of
$[ gets reset to 0 for every iteration so I get a console full of foo.
@rray = ( 'foo', 'bar', 'spam', 'eggs' );
for ($calar=0; $calar < @rray; $[ = $[+1) {
print "$rray[$calar]";
}
Even if I increment another variable and assign its value to
$[, I get the same
That use of $[ is unsupported at obf.pl line 2. error as before. What is going on? How can I use
$[ to freely play with arrays?
