Since this is a perl list, we can safely assume the OP was not asking about assembler's goto statement, but about perl's. 'perlfunc' mentions C as a language where goto is more accepted. It also mentions that AUTOLOAD.pm uses the third form to load subroutines. Programming in assembler, huh. You're either a computer science student, very curious, or really old. :) HTH, Charles K.
