Re: What's the point of a labeled block without a loop?

Sometime, I use it to implement 'switch':

SWITCH: {
   if (...) { ..... ; last SWITCH }
   elsif (...) { ..... ; last SWITCH }
   elsif (...) { ..... ; last SWITCH }
}

If you use elsif, what's the point of the last statements?	[reply]

it's there for consistency's sake only because I am obsessed with it... :D you can leave it out, but if you want to add more elsif, you have to remember to put 'last SWITCH' on that block... saving me from future bugs :D -------------- badaiaqrandista	[reply]
