Your second "foreach" is not necessary.

I think the OP is trying to do this with the second foreach:

for(my $i=1; $i < @array; $i++){
    print "The difference is ", $array[$i] - $array[$i-1], "\n";
}

    You are correct(++) - I misread the curly brackets.

    Another way he can achieve this - arguably more readable is: 

    my @a=@array; # make a copy, since we will destroy @a
my $prev=pop @a; 
for (reverse @a){
   print  $prev - $_, "\n";
   $prev=$_;
}
