It is traditional to put a
goto there for exactly that
reason. However this time I know it won't matter.
Besides which a friend of mine demonstrated to me that
jumping from sub to sub with goto could lead to a memory
leak (he wrote a tail-recursive sub with a goto and after
several runs with large argument lists ran out of memory)
so I don't use that goto unless I really feel it is
necessary for Perl to work correctly.
I don't know if that bug has been reported to p5p yet. At
the time I intended to check whether it still existed in a
development version and then report it, but then I got
busy...
