Empty body to the while loop. In the spirit of perl, do what I mean, i.e. nothing. It would appear that any block is allowed a continue clause.

This might reveal what is happening: perl5 -MO=Deparse -pe ' } { $_="foo\n"' /dev/null LINE: while (defined($_ = <ARGV>)) { ; } { $_ = "foo\n"; } continue { print $_; } -e syntax OK I figured that much, but then I'm left with interpreting a construct of the form: while(defined($_ = <ARGV>)){}{$_ = "foo\n"}continue{print $_} ^^ ?? I didn't think such a construct would be legal. I'm not sure what it means. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
