I know this topic is all kinds of old, but, I have a very short script which checks if multiple servers are online. I also wanted it so that via optional command line options $loop (boolean) and $time (integer) it would loop until all the servers are online. At this point it would beep a lot.
Yet rather than putting all the code in a big evil while() loop, or in a big evil sub, I thought sticking this at the bottom seemed to make a lot more sense, both code shortness and clarity-wise.
goto START if ($loop && sleep($time||300));

I had always knew gotos were bad. Now I know that you can never know anything ;)

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).
