Some folks like to use labeled blocks as an odd form of commenting. However, if you look at how Test::More implements SKIP blocks, you'll be rather horrified at the how it works :) (if the SKIP value is true, there's a last SKIP call).

sub skip {
    my($why, $how_many) = @_;
    my $tb = Test::More->builder;

    unless( defined $how_many ) {
        # $how_many can only be avoided when no_plan is in use.
        _carp "skip() needs to know \$how_many tests are in the block"
          unless $tb->has_plan eq 'no_plan';
        $how_many = 1;
    }

    for( 1..$how_many ) {
        $tb->skip($why);
    }

    local $^W = 0;
    last SKIP;
}

That relies on the SKIP label in the test, even though you don't see the last call.
