in reply to perl exit eval via next in a loop

If there was an otherwise fatal error (like a die()) somewhere inside the eval, it will be captured and printed out in the warn. The $@ variable holds the error message that it would have die()'d with. The loop can then continue on as if nothing happened, and you have a nice little error message to help debug things.
