Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting "last" in perl vs "break" elsewhere Post 302371592 by jim mcnamara on Sunday 15th of November 2009 08:18:56 PM

There is no major difference in semantics - the innermost control block wherein the last keyword executes, is "broken out of": for and while blocks. This is logically identical to a goto in C that points to the first line of code outside a control block.

All of the variables - if they have scope outside of the control block, remain as they were when last is encountered. last does not imply a return from a sub. Unlike C's break, last is not required in a switch control block.

And do remember, nobody posting here is required to give any answers at all. Try perlmonks if this does not answer your question. We have serveral major perlers here who also may take this further.
