No. If there is no label used with next last or redo, it applies to the
current enclosing loop, otherwise you can move back up the hierachy. You
should be able to do:
LOOP1: while(<FILE) {
#do stuff
LOOP2: while(<ANOTHERFILE>) {
#do stuff
LOOP3: foreach $i (@array) {
#do stuff
next LOOP1 if $i < 3;
next LOOP2;
}
}
}
