How do I read two items at a time in a Perl foreach loop?

Question

What I\'m looking for is something like:

@list = qw(1 2 3 4 5 6);
foreach (@list) {
  #perl magic goes here 
  print \"i: $i, j:$j\\n\";
}

Answer 1

I'd use splice.

my @list = qw(1 2 3 4 5 6);
while(my ($i,$j) = splice(@list,0,2)) {
  print "i: $i, j: $j\n";
}
