The keyword you're looking for is either "die" or "exit 1".

How does one abruptly end a Perl program? I am somewhere in the middle of a program and need to be able to say: if ( blah, blah) end, stop program, quit, we are done! In the old days of FORTRAN II (!) for example, we just said "go to line #", which would be a last statement at the end of the program. Now with no "go to" statement, how do you just quit? Six books and I can't find anything!
