What this while loop is doing?

Can anyone please explain what this code is doing for first 6 lines? I believe this is array but I couldn't understand what exactly it is doing.

Code:
set -A Dis_array 95
typeset -L2 distribution
let count=0
while (( $count < ${#Dis_array[*]} )) ; do
       distribution=${Dis_array[count]}
       echo "distribution = ${distribution}"

       cat  ${Filename}    >> ${SOME_PATH}/data/${distribution}abcfile.${log_time}
       rc=$?
       if [ ${rc} != "0" ]
       then
          echo "Return Code is ${rc}"
          exit ${rc}
       fi

       echo "${distribution}abcfile sent to DC ${distribution} system"

      let count="count + 1"

done


find /some/other/path/data -follow -name "*abcfile*" -mtime +2 -print -exec rm {} \;

Module::Depends(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Module::Depends(3pm)

NAME
Module::Depends - identify the dependencies of a distribution SYNOPSIS
use Module::Depends; my $deps = Module::Depends->new->dist_dir( '.' )->find_modules; print "Our dependencies: ", Dump $deps->requires; DESCRIPTION
Module::Depends extracts module dependencies from an unpacked distribution tree. Module::Depends only evaluates the META.yml shipped with a distribution. This won't be effective until all distributions ship META.yml files, so we suggest you take your life in your hands and look at Module::Depends::Intrusive. METHODS
new simple constructor dist_dir Path where the distribution has been extracted to. find_modules scan the "dist_dir" to populate "libs", "requires", "configure_requires", "test_requires", and "build_requires" libs an array reference of lib lines requires A reference to a hash enumerating the prerequisite modules for this distribution. configure_requires A reference to a hash enumerating the prerequisite modules to configure this distribution. build_requires A reference to a hash enumerating the modules needed to build the distribution. error A reason, if any, for failing to get dependencies.
