Re^2: use of 'continue' block for while/until

Here is the same code with the continue block

No. Those two snippets are different. The first only does ++$counter when $thingy ne 'PARTY'. The second does ++$counter unconditionally.

my $limit = 3;
my @work_queue = qw( a PARTY b c d);
sub some_function { $_[0] }

...

print(scalar(@work_queue), "\n");

Prints 1 for the first snippet and 2 for the second.

ikegami, You are quite correct. The problem was in my code, not my intention. The first should have had a `++$counter` at the bottom of the loop. I will update that now. Cheers - L~R	[reply] [d/l]
