in thread Anon. array of refs to a range generated list of scalars.

well, some people think differently ... and you could always mark the bare block with a label, clearly stating what you want to do 
LOOP: {
  # some code
  redo LOOP if condition;
}
 
# that's actually quite close to perl6 ;-)
loop {
  # some code
  last unless condition;
}

    I tried to dredge up a heated discussion we had in the monastery maybe half a year ago, where the general consensus was that you shouldn't generally use naked blocks to loop like that, but came up empty handed after a dozen queries. :-/
