Editors don't have to be perfect at coloring text, because the worst that can happen is that the colors are wrong when you view the source--it's annoying, but I can live with it. In the case of Switch.pm, anything other than parsing code exactly the way perl does is unaccaptable, because anything less will cause bugs, often in areas which are unrelated to the use of a switch. There are a few source filters which don't have to be perfect because they're doing very simple things (Acme::Bleach comes to mind), but Switch.pm isn't one of them.
