I'm using a next LABEL inside a File::Find
sub wanted {...} loop

It is further buried in a while loop inside the `sub wanted()'

The while loop is while (<FILE>) on the most recent found file. I
want this `next LABEL' to bring on a new file... not a new line in
while loop.

So using the `next LABEL' technique how do I designate the wanted()
subroutine as target? Something like this:

sub LABEL: wanted {
  open(FILE,"<File::Find::name");
  while (<FILE>){
    if(something) {
        then do something
    }else{
       next LABEL;
    }
  }
}
