- All language designers are arrogant. Goes with the territory... :-)

- You want it in one line? Does it have to fit in 80 columns? :-)
- Hey, I had to let awk be better at *something*... :-)
- What about WRITING it first and rationalizing it afterwards? :-)
- If I allowed 'next $label' then I'd also have to allow 'goto $label', and I don't think you really want that... :-)
- Though I'll admit readability suffers slightly...
- In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)
