Keywords (not functions... thanks dragonchild)</s> like next and last and used in the context of loops. next goes to the next iteration of the loop, last leaves the loop.

foreach(1,2,3) {
   next if ($_ == 2);
   print "next: $_\n";
}

foreach(1,2,3) {
   last if ($_ == 2);
   print "last: $_\n";
}

__RESULTS__
next: 1
next: 3
last: 1

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
