in thread while loop question

Nice ideas. The trouble is, as well as wanting to be able to say last LINE (or LOOP) I want to be able to say  next LINE if $1 < $start_point; and your solution doesn't offer that possibility.

    Of course it does :). It works in just the same way as using next/last in any nested loops. 

    OUTER: {

    INNER: while(1) {
        next INNER if this();
        last OUTER if that();
    }
}
