in reply to do {$i++} until vs. $i++ until

For what it's worth, 'Perl Best Practices' isn't so hot on until statements, either (though I find your, specific, examples pretty easy to read). 8o)

    Conway's main critizism isn't readability (the methods of avoiding it diminish readability as much as the do-loop IMHO).

    The main problem he sees is that the do-loop isn't a real loop, so that 'next','last' statements are not working as expected. He is absolutely right, but I still use do-loops sometimes, especially in small loops where the rewrite would blow up the loop significantly.
