Sorry, still not in my copy of perlsyn.pod from 5.7.2. Although there is
something very similar I overlooked the last time when looking for it. The
example in line 120 (the other examples talk about next) says:
For C<last>, you have to be more elaborate:
LOOP: {
do {
last if $x = $y**2;
# do something here
} while $x++ <= $z;
}
Not reading the context, I admit that I don't understand why you have to
be "more elaborate" for last, but perlsyn actually says that your example
does not work:
You can always put another block inside of it (for C<next>) or around
it (for C<last>) to do that sort of thing. For C<next>, just double
the braces:
I think it's quite arrogant from you to tell people: "straight from
the docs" when, in fact, the documentation says something completely
different.
