Using B::Deparse under ActivePerl b629 (aka 5.6.1)...

C:\> perl -MO=Deparse -e "while (1) { print 1; }"

for (;;) {
    print 1;
}

-e syntax OK

C:\> perl -MO=Deparse -e "for (;;) { print 1; }"

for (;;) {
    print 1;
}

-e syntax OK

But if I try the for example that demerphq quotes under Perl 5.5.3 (on FreeBSD), I get ...

$ perl -MO=Deparse -le 'for ( my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ ) { print 1 }'
-e syntax OK

my $i = 0;
while ($i < 10) {
    print 1
}
continue {
    ++$i
}

Hmmm...
