Hi,

Complete newbie.

Is there any way to use "next" from within a foreach loop?

All the examples I have seen/read use a while loop to demo.

Thanks,
Stuart

Yes, next will work on for/foreach, while, and until loops. So you can say

for my $num (1 .. 10) {
next if $num % 2;
print "$num\n";
}

To print the even numbers between 1 and 10 (inclusive).

The next, last, and redo loop control statements will even work on bare bloc=
ks:

my $i =3D 0;
{
print "infinite loop: ", $i++;
sleep 1;
redo;
}=
