in reply to Best way to "Skip" a set of operations

If you are in a while loop, you can just call next. The part after JUMP HERE should then go to a continue block so it gets executed every time, even when you call next. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };

my $i = 1;
while ($i <= 10) {
    say $i;
    if ($i % 2) {
        say 'Skipping an odd number.';
        next
    }
} continue {
    ++$i;
}

    No need for an explicit while loop, any nacked surrounding block is fine.

    main::(-e:1):   0
  DB<1> print 1 ; { last; print 2 }; print 3
13
  DB<2>
