That's a darned shame. In p5, I keep going back to code and finding
something like:

	print foreach @x;

and wanting to change it to:

	print foreach @x if @x > 2;

or finding this:

	print $_ if /^X/;

and wanting:

	print $_ if /^X/ for split /\n/;

Yes, I know this last one can be accomlished by:

	print $_ while /^(X.*)/mg;

but the former always seems more obvios to me.
