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 .
