in reply to Annotation of Anonymous Blocks

A bare block is perfectly clear. It creates a limiting scope.

The BLOCK: block almost implies a loop, which it is, but that is not the intent. On the other hand, a more descriptive label like SCOPING_BLOCK: may work.

The do block by itself seems to be begging for while modifier. Assigning to a variable helps:

my $BigCalc = do { my $SmallCalc; ... f($SmallCalc); };

The if block looks like debugging code. Someone commented out a chunk of code with if (0) {...} then turned it back on.
