Hi Perlmonks. I really need your help..... Is there something like 
switch(case)
case A :do somehing 
case B :do some other thing

in Perl??? I only know that in C we have switch(case) like that. In this case I have a hash table %house containing around 30 elements. And for each of the key value of the hash I must check each key.. eg: 
 foreach $person (keys %house){
{
    if $person eq "CC"){
        print "My name ";
        p_CC();}
    elsif $person eq "AB"){
        print "AB ";
        p_AB();}
    elsif $person eq "CD"){
        print "My friend ";
        p_CD();} 
    ....
    ##for the whole element
    else ...
    }

It takes a long time to compile my program. I really wish there is something better to make my prog faster. Please help me.... Thanks a lot.
