Thanks for that ChemBoy - I was unaware of the <> and @ARGV behaviour. File another pearl. Sure it's not technically an infinite loop as you point out but having a way to break out of it is a good idea. Much better than control ?D ?Z ?X ?C or even the ever faithful Ctl-Alt-Del ;-)

print "Your call is important to us please hold...\n";
for (;;) {
    while (1) {
        print "I committed a technical inexactitude\n" until 0;
    }
}
print "Did you wait long!\n";
