| 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. | |
