In perlop,

           next LINE if (1 .. /^$/);  # skip header lines, short for
                                      #   next LINE if ($. == 1 .. /^$/);

Actually all the parentheses can be removed from the example.

                                                 # (typically in a loop labeled LINE)

Actually LINE is special. Using e.g., LINEz would need a existing label.
