mechanise whats wrong with doing this	Can't Post

to start mechanise is noremally this my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
why can i not put this

Code

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(  onerror => {    goto BEGIN  });

so if there is an error it goes back and starts again

Simple answer, because the module doesn't support it.

Besides that, YOU SHOULD NOT USE goto STATEMENTS!!!!

It is almost never the proper thing to use, so don't use it untl you understand when it would be appropriate and you need its functionality.

Navigation is normally handled by proper use of conditionals and while loops that execute various subs.

i do struggle with getting goto to work properly :(
the thing is i have a script that has all the wrong ways to do things but works ok. just a few teething problems.
i would love to show you the whole script but it violates a few terms and conditions of a couple websites. thats why i am relunctant to show all the code :)
