| 6 | NAME
|
|---|
| 7 | Switch - A switch statement for Perl
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 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.
