It would have to be a pretty old perl.  I recall that do {} while ();
existed back in perl 1.0-beta (vintage 1986)!  I suppose I'm dating myself.
"do" is an overly overloaded operator/function.  It took me a long time to
change over from the old function call syntax of
        do foo ();
to
        &foo ();
