Ok, I have a question. Just from intellectual curiosity rather than any actual pressing need for a solution, I am wondering thusly...

Given that the following aXML code fragment:


  <given g="somevalue">
    <foo>
      [get_file]foo[/get_file]
    </foo>
    <bar>
      [get_file]bar[/get_file]
    </bar>
    <else>
      [get_file]baz[/get_file]
    </else>
  </given>

Is functionally identical to the following Modern::Perl code fragment :


  given ("somevalue")
     {
      when (/foo/)
          {
           return get_file('foo');
          }
      when (/bar/)
          {
           return get_file('bar');
          }
      default
          {
           return get_file('baz');
          }
     }

What then would be the Perl equivalent of this fragment : 


  <given g="somevar">
    <get_file>cases</get_file>
  </given>

Where the file "cases" contains the same data as existed inside the given tag of the original fragment, and is dynamically loaded prior to the given tag being processed?
