You're just creating more work for yourself by using Switch.pm. If it screws up the parsing, you now have to change code (which may be completely unrelated to the code that actually uses a switch statement) just to work around bugs in Switch.pm. That's a lot more work for something that is little more than syntax sugar and is easily replaced with a multitude of common Perl idioms. Even if you make all the workarounds in the current version of Switch.pm, new versions may introduce brand new bugs for you to work around.

The correct solution is to avoid Switch.pm in the first place for serious code.
