next LABEL next The `next' command is like the `continue' statement in C; it starts the next iteration of the loop: LINE: while () { next LINE if /^#/; # discard comments #... } Note that if there were a `continue' block on the above, it would get executed even on discarded lines. If the LABEL is omitted, the command refers to the innermost enclosing loop. `next' cannot be used to exit a block which returns a value such as `eval {}', `sub {}' or `do {}', and should not be used to exit a grep() or map() operation. Note that a block by itself is semantically identical to a loop that executes once. Thus `next' will exit such a block early. See also the continue entry elsewhere in this document for an illustration of how `last', `next', and `redo' work.
