Because I didn't know it was there! That other language used `break` so I was looking for break. Maybe someone should make something like the unix `apropos` for Perl 6. That would give them, what, about five years to do it before the release? :~)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Perl's `last` is C's `break`. Perl's `next` is C's `continue`. Perl's `redo` has no C equivalent. These are documented in perlsyn under the heading Loop Control.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You may find the tutorials in Flow Control Structures in the Tutorials section helpfull. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
