in reply to C-style for loop

The C-style loop can be useful in cases where you want to skip over some values, but for other reasons(possibly ease of remembering range) want to keep your range 0..100.
#!/usr/bin/perl for (my $i = 0; $i <= 100; $i += 5) { print($i, "\n"); } print "\n"; for (0..20){ print 5 * $_,"\n"; }
Someone good at setting up efficiency tests, may find one better than the other in terms of what is fastest.
