The only use of the goto is to skip some code.
An else would have been preferred.
Hmmm. An else is a typical solution, but it's not something
that makes me jump with joy either. It means there's a large block of
code that will be indented. And would you have more such cases, the code
crawls to the right hand margin.
A continue might solve this:
if (CONDITION) {{ # Note the *double* opening brace.
... some code ...
next if SOME_CONDITION;
... more code ...
next if OTHER_CONDITION;
... even more code ...
}
continue {
... end stuff ...
}
}
And if you do last instead of next, the
continue won't be executed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
