in reply to exiting two loop levels
You need labelled loops.
OUTER: while ($something_is_true) { INNER: while ($some_other_thing_is_true) { last OUTER if $you_want_to_quit_outer_loop; last INNER if $you_want_to_quit_inner_loop; } }
See Compound statements in perldoc perlsyn for details.
Update: Added ':' to labels.
