in thread while ()

Indeed this is what calin himself found, but it seems to be version dependent too (with no substantial differences, however). See Re^3: Reopen file when contents changed?.

    I now think that while () deparses as for because while (1) is "optimised" (whatever that means) into for(;;) in perl 5.6.1. 

    $ perl561 -MO=Deparse -e 'while(1) {1}'
for (;;) {
    '???';
}
