in thread Perl style question: loops with postcondition

I think that's like "The -w switch is not mandatory." If you know, what you do, it can be (in a very strange and unimaginable situation) usefull to have goto.

    "unimaginable situation" is of course nonsense, as erik wrote about AUTOLOAD i remembered even i had used goto &$subref for nested AUTOLOAD routines in a module that exports an AUTOLOAD routine to the use()ing package but gives a possibility to specify a sub-reference that handles function that could not be found by the current AUTOLOAD routine.
