You do not need the label unless you need to jump out of some other

While I personally program the way you suggest, take note that "Perl Best
Practices" says that loops that are explicitly exited should be labelled
in all cases (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596001735/toc.html), so
we should not criticize people for following the practice.
