Thanks for your reply! Sounds reasonable but what do you think about comment by LanX? It seems they are technically different.

    Both are right, but it's a bit tricky to construct a while-condition doing a readline and exiting at false.

    I'd rather use an explicit last with condition inside the body.

    use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';


while ( $_= <DATA>, chomp, $_) {
    say;
}

__DATA__

    (NB: Iterators don't necessarily loop over lines where they need to chomp, <update see here>)
