Hi all,

I write a small script for permutation. When I use
version 1) Perl always complaint it although I get
the
result. If I use version 2) it never says a word
about
it. Any comments?

Perl always complain (provided you called for that
with -w or "use
warnings") when you do something like that:

$ perl -w -e 'my $a; $a'
Useless use of a variable in void context at -e line
1

This is meant to warn you about a probable mistake:
you may have meant
$a++
a # to invoke a sub
or something like that. As Igor has said the first
statement in the
for is often used for declaring loop variables or,
more generally, for
loop initialization statements. If you don't have
these initialization
statements, you may omit it.

Regards,
Adriano Ferreira
