Without getting into the goto issue, may I offer the code I use for tieing a session using Apache::Session::*. It is not a loop at all, therefore no chance of an infinite loop. It makes two tries at a session, once using the supplied ID (if any), and if that fails it tries a second time using undef, to get a new session. Failing that, it dies.
# $id is either a cookie-passed session ID or undef
# $sargs is a hashref of options
eval { tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', $id, $sargs };
if ($@ =~ /^Object does not exist/) { # try to get a new session
eval { tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', undef, $sargs };
die "Can't get new session: $@" if $@;
} elsif ($@) {
die "Can't get session. ID (if any): '$id' : $@";
}
cheers!

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).
