for 'bar' from within 'foo', given
sub xxx {
foo();
bar();
baz();
}
It can certainly be done using Want-like techniques, but it'll make

The Founder's Arms is on the South Bank, in front of the Tate Modern:
h
So what is the difference between these sort of constructs and
action1() if $cond1 ;
action2() if $cond2 ;
action3() if $cond3 ;
I know which I'd like to read in code I am trying to understand!
