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. |
