[comp.lang.perl] setjmp/longjmp

Well, setjmp is known to be dangerous.  The best course is to expect
only what the ANSI standard guarantees:  "All accessible objects have
values as of the time longjmp was called, except that the values of
objects of automatic storage duration that are local to the function
containing the invocation of the corresponding setjmp macro that do
not have volatile-quaified type and have been changed between the
setjmp invocation and longjmp call are indeterminate."
