Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm really only "good" at javascript, but here goes. I'm using a while statement in my program, and I want to be able to a) make it stop where it is and start over at the beginning of the while statement, and b) make it quit the while statment and execute whatever directly follows this. In JavaScript this is accomplished by using the break and continue statements. How do you do this in perl and what is the format? Thanx.
