Break doesn't break
Keeps executing after the break statement

for $counter (0..100) { 
  if ($counter==50) { $match=1;} 
  if ($match) { break; print "Executing after break";} 
}

I run this and "Executing after break" prints 50 times.

What am I missing?

break [perldoc.perl.org] doesn't do what you think it does. You probably want last [perldoc.perl.org].

Ugh--that's what I get for programming when I'm sleepy.

C="break;", Perl="last;"
C="continue;", Perl="next;"

Anyway, thanks for waking me up. :)
