in thread How does 'goto LABEL' search for its label?

Constructs that require initialization such as a subroutine or a foreach loop can't be deprecated now because they never worked.

Moritz showed a jump into a "construct" (an if block) w/o deprecation warning.

So which blocks or "pieces of syntax made up of smaller pieces" exactly do belong to that set of now deprecated "constructs" is not defined within the perldocs.

I hope you are aware that many kinds of loops are not foreach -loops.

    Its is optimized away , optimization before warning -- it is still deprecated

    So which blocks

    all of them -- if some aren't, its a warnings bug (maybe), not something that was forgotten to be deprecated

    I hope you are aware that many kinds of loops are not foreach -loops.

    Anything with a { bare block } is a loop and is deprecated

    perl -wE " { L1: say 1; } goto L1; "
      Bla!

      All you said is either obviously wrong, contradictory to what you claimed earlier or not new.

      I'm tired of this, AnoMonk...
