Perl Breaking out of an If statement

Question

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

Another alternative is to use an anonymous subroutine.
Note: I don't recommend this method because of the added scoping complexity (see note below); it is just for completeness of possible answers.

if( $true_condition ){
   (sub{
       return if $true_condition;
       ...
   })->();
}

Note: any variables declared w/in the routine must use our instead of my if you wish to use them in the rest of the code.
