For legacy reasons I want to include a couple of method aliases in a production API. One simple way of doing this is something on the lines of:
sub legacy_method {
my ($self, @args) = @_;
return $self->current_method(@_);
}
But I am wondering if an alternative using goto would serve for this purpose:
sub legacy_method {
goto(¤t_method);
}
Due to the characteristics of this version of goto it looks like a sensible approach. So far it passes the tests and seems to work fine, but I would like to ask if anyone sees any drawback to this approach.

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).
