Re: Breaking out of an 'if'

You can try this.

STUFF: {
    if ($some_condition) {
        &some_stuff();
        &condition_met() and last STUFF;
        &some_more_stuff;
    }
}
# last STUFF jumps here

The return statment can also be a useful shortcut in many cases when you want to do a non-local exit. (The return statement returns from the innermost sub, whether named or anonymous.)
