=over =item next LABEL =item next The C command is like the C statement in C; it starts the next iteration of the loop: LINE: while () { next LINE if /^#/; # discard comments #... } Note that if there were a C block on the above, it would get executed even on discarded lines. If the LABEL is omitted, the command refers to the innermost enclosing loop. See also L for an illustration of how C, C, and C work. =back
