well, YES, that is true. however, from perl's documentation on continue : If there is a continue BLOCK attached to a BLOCK (typically in a while or foreach)... which made me believe you could tack continues on to any block all willy nilly. This isn't the case, though.	[reply]

Yeah... I think they just use foreach as a readability thing... but they are the exact same... I haven't used foreach since I saw that... so much extra typing :) - Ant	[reply]
