in reply to Re (tilly) 6: Fear of Large Languages (was: "Would you use goto")
in thread Would you use 'goto' here?
As I said earlier in the thread, continue block or function call should have been what I did. But, I felt that I didn't want to hide the meat of the script in a function call and continue blocks are "a lesser-known" feature of Perl, similar to "goto &SUB".
I guess my point is that I have a reason for not wanting to do either of the "correct" ways, and one of those reasons is the very reason most people gave Ovid to not use "goto &SUB", even though it was the absolute correct syntax to use in his specific case.
