You're not running with use warnings are you? If you were, you would see the message:

"Can't 'redo' outside a loop block"

If you then turned on use diagnostics you'd see even more useful information.

"A 'redo' statement was executed to restart the current block, but there isn't a current block. Note that an 'if' or 'else' block doesn't count as a 'loopish' block, as doesn't a block given to sort(), map() or grep(). You can usually double the curlies to get the same effect though, because the inner curlies will be considered a block that loops once. See perlfunc/redo."

So, to summarise - you can't do that :)
