But a redo (just like next and last is just a glorified goto.

I consider this statement blatently false and missleading.

• redo FOO will only work if the label FOO exists at some surrounding loop block

I consider this statement to be inaccurate and not quite pendantic enough for flaming someone! Observe:

sub bar {
        no warnings 'exiting';
        redo FOO;
}
FOO: {
        print "Hey!";
        bar();
}
