in thread do/redo or for(;;): what's Kosher?

while()
{
...
}

Not sure why it works, but it does.

    This is why it works: 
    2;0 juerd@ouranos:~$ perl -MO=Deparse -e'while () { print "1\n" }'
for (;;) {
    print "1\n";
}
-e syntax OK

    Many people aren't going to like this: 
    2;0 juerd@ouranos:~$ perl -MO=Deparse -e'while (1) { print "1\n" }'
for (;;) {
    print "1\n";
}
-e syntax OK
