in thread do while loops

Actually, I think the problem is larger than that.
shouldn't it be:

$value = 15;  # 15, not 5. 5 doesn't make sense if we're not increment
+ing.

do {
    print "$value\n";
    $value = $value - 1;
} while($value > 10);

The point was that the test happens at the end, so the loop executes once even if the value starts out < 10. Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply]
