Like Owen, I've come across many a recommendation AGAINST using goto in Perl. And (like Owen?), I have yet to find one that explains clearly the reasons arguing against its use. If nothing else, it has made me very curious... Can any of the more experienced programmers (ie. nearly everyone else on this list by my standards) point to a good explanation as to why one should avoid goto in Perl (or coding in general)? I looked around in perl-begin.org but couldn't find anything obvious. Once again, I make my request from the purest desire of learning Perl the best way I can. Thanks Owen for bringing it up, and thanks everyone else in advance.
