in reply to Pop quiz: find the bug

The bug you are talking about would have been avoided using do blocks and not risking short-circuiting at the assignment expressions 
    SWITCH:
    {
        $id == $CASH  && do{$tcash += $amt; last SWITCH};
        ...
    }

    How about: 
    SWITCH:
{
  $id == $CASH and $tcash += $amt, last SWITCH;
   ...
}
