Saying next or redo skips the execution of - what? the current block? Right; but that block cannot be the outer block; that would be last. So these OPs need something to skip, and that's why an implicit block (and scope) is created inside a block in which next or redo are found.

<update>

In your example (label added) 

LOOP: for( my $i = 1; $i =~ m/\d/, my $j = $i**2; $i++)
    {
    print "I saw [$i] and [$j]\n";
    redo LOOP if $& == 5;
    last if $i == 10;
    }

the redo goes straight to the LOOP label, so the scope of the loop is re-entered, and my-variables get reset (match variables too), as expected. But the execution of the "loop control block" conditional is skipped, which is why $j is undef after the redo.

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
