Switch.pm provides the syntax and semantics for an explicit case
|
||
|
|
mechanism for Perl. The syntax is minimal, introducing only the
|
||
|
|
keywords "switch" and "case" and conforming to the general pattern
|
||
|
|
of existing Perl control structures. The semantics are particularly
|
||
|
|
rich, allowing any one (or more) of nearly 30 forms of matching to
|
||
|
|
be used when comparing a switch value with its various cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is from CPAN and works the same as a deprecated function in
|
||
|
|
Perl base which will be removed in a future version.
