Its "last" what you are looking for.  This will break out of the inner-most 
loop.  Optionally, you can put a label at the start of your loop and exit it by 
name, like:

my $foo = 0;
OUTER: while (1) {
    INNER: while (1) {
       $foo++;
       if ($foo > 1) last INNER;
    }
}

The "last INNER" will exit the inner loop. If it were "last OUTER" it would 
exit both of them immediately.  This is the same thing as executing a GOTO 
statement to a label outside the loops, but it seems cleaner in the code.

    -dZ.
