Generating redirects to internal named locations

[Dave Hayes]

Greetings nginx gurus. :) Is there a better way to generate a redirect
to a named location than this?

  location @perl {
      fastcgi...
  }
  ...
  location ~ \.pl$ {
      try_files /this_should_never_exist @perl;
  }
  
Thanks in advance for any insight.
