Perl Programming/Keywords/continue

The continue keyword
continue is a flow-control statement, if followed by a BLOCK. In a BLOCK or BLOCK, each time before the conditional is to be evaluated, contents of BLOCK are executed. So, it can be used to increment a loop variable even after a next statement (that resembles to the continue statement of C and other languages).

The <tt>BLOCK</tt> may contain <tt>last</tt>, <tt>next</tt>, or <tt>redo</tt> commands, where <tt>last</tt> and <tt>redo</tt> show the same behaviour as if they had been called in the main block.
