Argh. Please don't use naked blocks with redo as loops, it's a nightmare to read. When I see a naked block, I expect to be looking at a private lexical scope, not an unadorned loop. If you need next, wrap the inner part with a naked block:
do {{ $bar; baz() or next; }} while $foo;
If you need last, wrap the whole thing:
{ do { $bar; baz() and last; } while $foo; }
Of course, if you need both, it does get awfully clumsy:
LOOP: { do {{ $bar; baz() or next; quux() and last LOOP; }} while $foo; }
In that case, and if you're so inclined then maybe in the other cases as well, I propose:
while(1) { $bar; baz() or next; quux() and last; }
At least it documents the loop nature of the block, even if the break condition is again somewhat hidden.

Makeshifts last the longest.
