When you do foreach (list_of_stuff), $_ is aliased to each entry in the list in turn. Hence, $_ *is* $u->{loc} and has the same address.
If you want to copy each list element into another variable for processing (which is generally the wise thing to do) the usual solution would be foreach my $foo (list_of_stuff).
On an unrelated issue, I betcha that foreach ($u->{loc}) is a bug. $u->{loc} is, and always will be, a scalar, so there's no point in the foreach.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
