That would kinda imply using a "goto". Good practice would be "use afterlife; &heaven".

    No no no. The modern, structured replacement for GOTO (long jump) is exceptions. 

    
  while(1) {  # eternal
    ...
    if ( -T _ ) { # terminal. yuk yuk
      die "OUTAHERE"; # or croak
    }
  }

    But that would imply a return...

    or maybe goto &heaven containing an infinite loop? So death is just a form of AUTOLOAD.
