#Beginnings use warnings; use strict; eval { what_we_wish: while (not die) { print "Live!"; reset and redo }} or do { may_not_be:; save_we_dare: while (reset) { print "Another chance"; redo and die }} __END__

This compiles and the conclusion, if there is one, is in the running code. But be prepared to kill it, just in case the conclusion is to live.
