as St. Larry once said,

If I allowed "next $label" then I'd also have to allow "goto $label", and I don't think you really want that... :-)
-- Larry Wall

Of course both were in fact added, but you can clearly see the concern expressed over "goto." The worst thing about goto is that those of us who spent our teenage years writting spaghetti in BASIC that consisted of 30% GOTO will be so frightened and appalled at the sight of it, that we will run screaming in the other direction. Proabably not the response you want your code to get...
