I was sure that Perl isn't alone in spelling "break" as "last", am I wrong about that?

From a quick Google it seems that I was. Or at least no other language using last has achieved anywhere near the popularity of Perl...

Cheers,
Ben

New Perhaps you were thinking of 'next'
Perl and Ruby share 'next' with similar semantics, while C-based languages tend to use 'continue' (and Perl's 'continue' is something different).

New No, I just thought that Ruby was more similar than it is
I use Ruby infrequently enough that I tend to be trapped by niggling issues like this whenever I try to use it.

But I get back into the mindset in an hour or so.
