Yes, as does C<while(0)>, and I've used them, though usually only when I eventually plan on putting in a real condition later. They don't stand out from the regular flow of control very well. C<dont> would. No. I don't think we need C<dont>. I'm *not* saying that. I'm just having fun with the idea. :) Allison
