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

Risking the necromancy tag, I decided to add one more from Tim Toady's backpack:

for (0 .. $#list) {
    next if $_ % 2;
    my ($i, $j) = @list[$_, $_ + 1];
    say "i:$i, j:$j";
}

Nondestructive, no duplicate lists, no state variables and reasonably terse.
