1. A "do" is a loop statement in programming that performs pre-defined tasks while or until a pre-determined condition is met. For example, in the below Perl code the do loop runs until the $count variable has reached the value of 9.

my $count = 0;
do {
 print "$count\n";
 $count++;
} until ($count >= 10);
