in reply to Re^2: any mechanism to go to the end of a loop but do not exit the loop
in thread any mechanism to go to the end of a loop but do not exit the loop
And Larry Wall also said that he never needed to use this form of goto in Perl. (There is in Perl another form of goto (the "goto &name" version) which is very useful for some advanced techniques, but that's a different story and this is not the subject now.)
But as a simple flow control statement, I am very skeptical. IMHO, Perl offers all the flow control statements that are needed for a good structured programming, the goto statement should probably not be used at all (except for the special goto coderef version mentioned above).
