$ perl5.14.0 -e 'continue;' syntax error at -e line 1, near "continue" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. I thought the whole purpose of feature.pm was to avoid conflicts with user-defined subroutines. Since ‘continue’ is a syntax error anyway without feature.pm, should it be necessary to load feature.pm to get a bare ‘continue’ as a keyword (with its when-exiting meaning)? Making it the same as any other keyword, and not dependent upon feature.pm, actually simplifies the code in toke.cThread Next
