If LABEL is specified, then it drops out of the loop identified by LABEL instead of the currently enclosing loop.

#!/usr/bin/perl

$count = 0;

while( 1 ){
   $count = $count + 1;

       last;
   }else{
       print "Count is $count\n";
   }
}
print "Out of the loop\n";


It will produce foillowing result:
