Hello morgon,

It doesn’t work for me (Strawberry Perl running under Windows 8.1, 64-bit):

use strict;
use warnings;

my ($x, $y) = (1, 0);

if ($x)
{
    $y or last;

    print "Continue with the if clause\n";
}

print "Do something else\n";

Output:

18:04 >perl 1312_SoPW.pl
Can't "last" outside a loop block at 1312_SoPW.pl line 8.

18:04 >perl -v

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 0 (v5.22.0) built for MSWin32-x
+64-multi-thread

[download]

I get the same result with next.

What version of Perl are you using?
