Do you have a clear definition for "construct"?

from perlglossary

construct As a noun, a piece of syntax made up of smaller pieces.

I think in this context it's supposed to mean "block of a loop".

IMHO this discussion helps: cross scope gotos?

From what I remember labels are only visible from the actual "frame" and parent frames.

Frames are constructs which need an initialization like subs or for-each-loops (remember the aliased loop-var!).

That means you can't jump into these constructs and bypass initialization.

But if you call another sub from within such a frame, that means after run-time initialization, you can goto back.

So lables are a run-time thing. They belong to the dynamic scope like localized vars.

EDIT: I think the deprecation is supposed to disallow jumps into other kinds of loops like while¹ or c-style fors , which have a "logical" but no "physical" initialization like frames.

HTH!

Cheers Rolf

¹) remember that naked blocks are internally just while-loops

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
