Did i just use a goto?!?
Well, if you think using a goto is more readable than
using another construct, then use it. I have seen
code that were emulating goto's, and which were worse,
much worse than the same code written with
goto's.
I have read somewhere that there was Dijkstra's paper
goto considered harmful,
(http://www.acm.org/classics/oct95/)
and then somebody answered
with another paper
"goto considered harmful" considered harmful.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it.

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).

are good places to start.
