Unfortunately this won't work. The until loop will continue redoing the
block until the condition is met. Unless will only execute the block one
time, leaving the counter at 1901 instead of 2000.
Update: crazyinsomniac has pointed out a better way to say
this: The unless(condition) statement is saying the same thing as to if( not condition).
The until(condition) statement is equivelant to
while( not condition).
That is to say, until() and while() are loops, and will repeat until the
condition is met, while if() and unless() are not, and will only execute the
block 0 or 1 times. Therefore, you can't trade unless() for until().

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).
