<p>To shed my vast light on the discussion, 8 years later: Is this
<blockquote>
replacing the current subroutine via a <c>goto &othersub</c> (rare),
</blockquote>
really true? I thought that <c>goto</c> was the only way to get proper tail-call recursion, which means that those of us with functional backgrounds who aren't so fond of iteration would be using it a lot.</p>
<p>Incidentally, [nothingmuch] has recently offered [mod://Sub::Call::Tail] for those who recoil from the syntactic ugliness of the <c>goto</c>-based set-up. Given your contributions in the past, I imagine you have your own way of twisting tail-calling <c>goto</c>s into shape when the occasion warrants. :-)</p>
