Perl 5 has a goto statement (see http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/goto.html ) and it's pretty flexible, but we did not use it here, and instead used "last LABEL" or "next LABEL" which behave differently. And if you're worried about gotos, you shouldn't use even non-labelled "last" and "next", or returns from the middle of subroutines, and your CPU uses many jump instructions too, so there. Also, please avoid top-posting.
