but the problem is its not the one that i want labeled blocks to do for me. why is it so?
well labeled blocks are really confusing. when does labeled blocks good for?

Well, next, last and redo are very specific "tools" that deal, in fact, with loops - even if they are in the form of bare blocks. What you show to want in the first example is a wilder thingy called goto, which is well known to be risky and is duly discouraged. In Perl, although it is provided, you should never feel the need to use it. Those other thingies mentioned above are "addomesticated" forms of goto and do not expose the same problems. So... I smell a delicate flavour of XY problem here: what are you really trying to do? That is, whatever it is, doing it with your approach may certainly be possible, but I'm sure that it could be possible to do it without a wild jump a.k.a. goto too.
