Actually, I think you'll find that the first example up there is the
same as :

	for my $i (0 .. ($#array - 1) )

because you've used < *and* @array-1.  Had you written:

	for (my $i = 0; $i <= @array - 1; $i++)

or

	for (my $i = 0; $i < @array; $i++ )

then they would have been equivalent to your second example.

All the best,
