To address that specific example, if you re-wrote it as a subroutine, you could just return and be done with it. There is no need for a last LABEL when you do something like that.
sub foo { my ($ary1, $ary2) = @_; foreach my $wid (@$ary1) { foreach my $jet (@$ary2) { last if ($wid > $jet); $wid += $jet; } } return; } foo(\@ary1, \@ary2);
Sure, you can use LABELs to reduce what I might term "flag variables", or variables that merely represent a condition, but with a little re-engineering, you can usually eliminate those and still not use LABELs.

Update:
I had put a return if ($wid > $jet); but this was incorrect, and this would explain why my remarks seem kind of incoherent.
