Hi,
	Can someone help me with the 'break statement with in a  'foreach'
loop???

	I've an array @a with numbers (123, 124, 125)
	

                    foreach $i (0 .. $#a) {  
			 if ($e[$i] == "123") {
                		$code = "A";
        		}
			 elsif ($e[$i] == "124") {
                		$code = "B";
				break;
        		}
             		elsif ($e[$i] == "125") {
                		$code = "C";
        		}
		    }

	Problem is the loop doesn't break when 'a' is 124... instead it goes
thru all the conditions and $code gets assigned C.


Thanks!
