Hello,

I've got a problem with Activeperl Built 631 (Win2k) with a next-statement.

If I execute it like the following:

C:\ce3\bin>perl -w
my @list = qw(0 1 2 3 4 5);
foreach (@list){
  next if $_ == 0;
  print $_, " ";
}
^Z
1 2 3 4 5
[download]

everything works fine.

But if I try the following:

C:\ce3\bin>perl -w
use strict;
my @list = qw(0 1 2 3 4 5);
foreach (@list){
  { 
    next if $_ == 0;
  }
  print $_, " ";
}
^Z
0 1 2 3 4 5
[download]

On the other hand, this works fine:

C:\ce3\bin>perl -w
my @list = qw(0 1 2 3 4 5);
foreach (@list){
  {
    next if $_ == 0;
    print $_, " ";
  }
}
^Z
1 2 3 4 5
[download]

Is this a perl bug, or am I the bug?

The same behaviour happens with Perl 5.005_03 under Solaris.

Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"
