Seen recently in a production script distributed around the company I work for-

  my $var=1;
  while ($var == 1){
    # do a bunch of stuff and never touch $var
    # exit if (some condition);
  }

while(1) must have been too difficult :)

Or, depending on structure, even

do {
    # ...
} until $condition;
