This one just came up: How do I break out of an if statement? I have a long if statement, but there is one situation where I can break out of it early on.

Answer 1

You can use basic block which is subject to last, next and redo, so there is possible break from it.

if ($condition) {EXIT_IF:{

   last EXIT_IF; # break from code block

   print "never get's executed\n";
}}

---

EXIT_IF: {
  if ($condition) {

     last EXIT_IF; # break from code block

     print "never get's executed\n";
  }
}
