Oh, cool, a Perl person.

One thing thats been bugging me for a while about Perl is the
lack of a butfirst keyword. This would be *really* useful for
constructs like:

    {
       # Huge chunk of code
    }
    butfirst
    {
       # Second huge chunk of code to be executed
       # before the one above.
    } ;

Sincerely,
Erik
