Sorry I wasn't specific..

During the course of an iteration there are conditions that need to
result in the loop stopping and closing the connection to the client.

The way I found to do this is call next. Break and last did not work.

For instance:

while (FCGI::accept() >= 0) {
    if ($var ne "go") {
        [halt execution and move on to the next request]
        print "var is not go!";
        next;
    }

    if ($var1 ne "go away") {
        [halt and move on]
        print "var is not go away!";
        next;
    }
}

See? This way accept will continue to service requests without
completely exiting.

Is this the right way to do it?
