This reminds me of errno in C. You'll find your program becomes

line_of_program
if error() {
handle it
}
another_line
if error() {
handle it
}
third_line
.
.
.

As David said, you may find Exceptions help to keep your code cleaner. 
See the PickAxe chapter on them.

  to NetWare and *really* wishes Perl had built-in exceptions).
