in thread How's your Perl?
I couldn't get :foo while1" to work on my PC (Windows, perl 5.8.0).
I could get to work by rewriting it as "1while foo" or "1until!foo".
My own try involved a for loop--no dice. The best I could do was "for(;;foo){};" which is slightly too long.

That loop will stop as soon as foo() returns false. The quiz didn't specify that foo() will always return a true value, so you can't assume it.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
