Duuuuh, I think I was groggy.  I was wondering actually whether it was a logical 
post-test, and clearly that would be meaningless in the context of an if statement.  
Did a little more experimenting just now, and it is clear that
delete_text[there is no logical impact of the positioning of the conditional--ie while 
will always check before execution of each block]
Screeeech-BABOOM--chuck that, I guess position of the test is significant in while 
loops:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

my $i = 1;

do {print "$i\n"; $i++;} while $i < 1;
print $i . "\n";
.
