I thought you knew this trick ;)
C:\>perl -MO=Deparse -wl #! perl -wl use strict; for my $i (1 .. 10) { print $i; } cxontinue { print "#"; print "-"; } __END__ foreach my $i (1 .. 10) { print $i; } do { print '#'; print '-' }->cxontinue; - syntax OK
update: I could've sworn you didn't have that deparse stuff there a second ago, anyway, I suppose it's just indirect object notation ie ---> new CGI; eq CGI->new; --->new {'CGI'} eq CGI->new;.

`perldoc perlobj' has an example, and here it is ;)

    $fred = find Critter "Fred";
    display $fred 'Height', 'Weight';
These could be combined into one statement by using a BLOCK in the indirect object slot:
display {find Critter "Fred"} 'Height', 'Weight';
For C++ fans, there's also a syntax using -> notation that does exactly the same thing. The parentheses are required if there are any arguments.
$fred = Critter->find("Fred"); $fred->display('Height', 'Weight');
or in one statement,
Critter->find("Fred")->display('Height', 'Weight');
