in thread Number of times I've used goto in Perl
Point taken. :)
But in the case of Carp, my Carp.pm uses goto in the same magical way that it's used in AUTOLOAD:
The purpose being that this magical goto erases the calling function from the call stack, which is exactly why it's used here: since longmess dumps out a stack trace, we don't want shortmess showing up in the call stack.goto &longmess;
So you should let Carp.pm slide, too. :)
BTW, I like the perlfunc entry for goto:
goto - create spaghetti code
