Subject: Bleadperl b500e03b breaks File-Locate-Iterator-6
F:L:I uses goto in various places. http://github.com/github/perl/commit/b500e03bf95eb884a53407409b4e755d303171a4 has deprecated a couple of goto constructs and F:L:I seems to be the first victim of the change. A sample of a failing cpantester report due to this change is at http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/12/msg6599700.html I'll perlbug it just to keep record in two places.
Thanks.  I uploaded a version 7 which may fix it.

It certainly seems a good idea to remove goto from perl.  It's really wrong for a strict oop language like perl to have more than once way to write loops and things.  It'd be different if perl was a practical report language and goto had been there since day one as part of making it a best-of superset of C, shell, awk, cobol and more.
