in reply to Re^2: how to loop
in thread how to loop
From a maintenance perspective, I like the previous example a bit more because you can understand the exit condition by reading the while line. Even a non-coder could understand it: while ($mode eq 'running'); keep going while the mode equals 'running'.
In your example, I have to search through the entire block and find the 'last if' line to figure out how you break out of the loop.
They are basically equal, but I find the first example easier to read and understand.
