Control structure in loops.

Question

I want to do something like below done in Perl in Pl/Sql but am not getting to it.
# Perl code
while($i <5)
... DO SOMETHING
if ($i == 3)
# means that start the loop again with $i = 4.
next;
# The following lines will be skipped when the value of $i will be 3
... DO SOMETHING
$i++;
Similarly,
I have some cursor in pl/sql and I open a loop.
-- Pl/SQl code
for rec in cursor_records loop
... DO SOMETHING
if( rec.my_val = 3) then
-- now, what is the control statement do i need to give here, similar to above like next.
-- Means, when value of rec.my_val is 3, then the lines following the if loop will get
-- skipped and loop will continue for value 4.
end if;
... DO SOMETHING
end loop;
Thanks..

Thanks all for their replies.
Looks like we don't have a way something like next/continue in Pl/Sql.
hi Dave,
I cannot use the approach you have said in the first reply as
if you closely see my code, I have DO_SOMETHING before the check condition
and have DO_SOMETHING again after the check condition.
Your reply1, solves if only I have DO_SOMETHING2, and not DO_SOMETHING1.
hi Leo,
I see two loops as an overhead and I really do not prefer this approach.
There can be a case when when a cursor is taking sometime to fetch a million records
from billions of records and then act on them.
In such a case, running two of them is really an overhead.
I think that I will have to live with <<GO_TO>> option.
Anywz, Thanks all for their replies and their effort.
