I recently wrote an program that loops through a text file line-by-line and prints the output on a html page generated on the fly by said program. The problem is that it is dying randomly during looping. Sometimes it'll be after the first line, others it'll be halfway. It's random :(

Unfortunately, I cannot post the actual code here, but the example below is structurally indentical:

my @numbers = ('1','2','3','4','5');

NUMBER: foreach my $number(@numbers){
    eval {
    next_loop();
    }
}

sub next_loop {
    next NUMBER;
}

But this works fine:

my @numbers = ('1','2','3','4','5');

NUMBER: foreach my $number(@numbers){
    next NUMBER;
    }
}

Any ideas as to why the first example might have problems?
