you might also want to have a look at redo and continue.
this "code" shows where next, redo and last jump, if
continue is present:
while (EXPR) {
REDO:
#body of while block
} continue {
NEXT:
#body of next block
}
LAST:
without continue it looks slightly different:
NEXT: while (EXPR) {
REDO:
# body of while block
}
LAST:
perls next, redo and last can also be used to get
out of a deeper level of iteration:
# nb this is stupid code that shortens lines (a char at a time)
# and prints the result, until it finds a z at the first pos.
LINE: foreach(<>) {
while(s/^.//) {
print;
last LINE if /^z/; #this also breaks the foreach loop. -- it j
+umps to the print "done"; statement
}
}
print "done";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
