Personally, I just omit the condition all together:

while()
{
...
}

Not sure why it works, but it does.

This is why it works:

2;0 juerd@ouranos:~$ perl -MO=Deparse -e'while () { print "1\n" }'
for (;;) {
    print "1\n";
}
-e syntax OK



Many people aren't going to like this:

2;0 juerd@ouranos:~$ perl -MO=Deparse -e'while (1) { print "1\n" }'
for (;;) {
    print "1\n";
}
-e syntax OK





2;0 juerd@ouranos:~$ perl -e'undef christmas'
Segmentation fault
