7 Switch - A switch statement for Perl, do not use if you can use given/when

9DESCRIPTION
10
11 Switch.pm provides the syntax and semantics for an explicit case
12 mechanism for Perl. The syntax is minimal, introducing only the
13 keywords C<switch> and C<case> and conforming to the general pattern
14 of existing Perl control structures. The semantics are particularly
15 rich, allowing any one (or more) of nearly 30 forms of matching to
16 be used when comparing a switch value with its various cases.
