I have never used goto in perl. I almost never used it in BASIC. But I did use GOSUB a lot. Naturally, I have used last and even next (and once, redo) in Perl. I do not see this as any kind of sin, because it can clarify things nicely. I do not see that a hideously complex loop condition is better than some internal flow control in all cases. Of course, because of the nature of my work, others being able to grok my code easily is important. So I tend to write production code in a very 'natural languge' sort of format.

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).
