The For loop function in Perl is to repeat a set of statements based on the given conditions.

   for (initial value; test value; increment value )
     {
       Statement to be executed
     }

In the above syntax "initial value" is the starting value, "test value" specifies the test condition, "increment value" specifies the increment value based on which a set of code is executed.

    #! C:\programfiles\perl\bin\perl
    print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
    for($row = 1; $row < 4; $row++) 
     {
       print "This is line $row.";
     }

     This is line 1.This is line 2.This is line 3.

In the above example the a number range from 1 to 3 is printed, by incrementing value by 1 using the for loop with a print statement.
