RE: What does "}{" mean?

> What does the construct "}{" mean?

 From perlrun:

"-p causes Perl to assume the following loop around your program, which 
makes it iterate over filename arguments somewhat like sed:


   LINE:
     while (<>) {
...# your program goes here
     } continue {
print or die "-p destination: $!\n";
     }


"
The closing brace indicates that the while loop is over, and the opening 
brace starts a new, bare block to which the "continue" is attached.
