Once again, I make my request from the MLC> purest desire of learning Perl the best way I can. google for the term spaghetti code. read. have you ever coded in assembler? or seen goto used a lot? if not, there is no reason to learn about goto these days. seriously. this has nothing to do with perl itself. goto is a bad concept from very long ago in programming. just read about it on the web and you will get more than you can learn here. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
