Re^3: returning to a loop later on

Indeed, but you can't redo to a label that is not in labling the current scope:

FOO: { # scope 1
        { # scope 2
        redo FOO; # Ok
    }

    redo FOO; # Ok
}

    { # scope 3
    redo FOO; # Illegal
}

you can't do that with a loop, either, right? perhaps i am misunderstanding you, but that is not the situation with the OP's code, imperfect as it may be; the `redo FILENAME` is within the `FILENAME: { }`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

My appologies. OP's code, as you say, is not like that. I was confused by indentation issues :(. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
