While programming, we work with control structures defined in particular language. In Perl, we have if, while, foreach, do, unless etc... Even though we can mimic, we are missing some originals like 'case'-'when', 'yield', etc. by design in Perl 5. I believe that, we think within the boundaries of control structures. With more control structures, we can become more flexible in programming. After all, TMTOWTDI is what make Perl interesting.
What type of new control structures you would like to have in Perl? What would be your consideration for the design of control structures ? Would that make your task easier? Can you mimic them with current version (5.6+)?
