Ah, your update definitely makes it more clear. You're not going to be able to accomplish this by printing and checking at the same time. You'll have to do two passes: one to check for any values that you want to avoid, and another to print out all the values from the ones that are deemed ok. Here's a quick example:

my @num_lists = (
    [  0 ..  4 ],
    [  5 ..  9 ],
    [ 10 .. 14 ],
    [ 15 .. 19 ],
);

OUTER: for my $list (@num_lists) {
    for my $num (@$list) {
        if ($num % 10 == 0) {
            print "Skipping $list\n";
            next OUTER;
        }
    }

    for my $num (@$list) {
        print "From $list: $num\n";
    }
}

Or you can use grep, which still just loops on the values, but might look a bit cleaner to some:

my @num_lists = (
    [  0 ..  4 ],
    [  5 ..  9 ],
    [ 10 .. 14 ],
    [ 15 .. 19 ],
);

for my $list (@num_lists) {
    next if grep { $_ % 10 == 0 } @$list;

    for my $num (@$list) {
        print "From $list: $num\n";
    }
}
