That's it: an infinitely looping foreach isn't a foreach.
It's not a foreach in perl.
It's not a for-each in standart scheme either, as
r5rs clearly says that the arguments to for-each are lists.
(In some interpreters, you can give an infinite list to
for-each, but that's clearly an extension. Others, like
mzscheme, raise an error on an infinite list.)
For in sh and foreach in csh won't allow you to loop
infinitely (except for the new arithmetic for loop in bash,
but that's not a foreach loop, it's rather a c-style for
loop).

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).
