After you will type at least use 5.010 you can use given statement. It allows you to use when inside it, but for/foreach also allows it. I would like to know why Perl has given when for can be used for this same thing (at least I think so).

For background, in this example, both code samples are equivalent.

for ($value) {
    when (1) { say "One!" }
    when (2) { say "Two!" }
    default  { say "Something!" }
}

given ($value) {
    when (1) { say "One!" }
    when (2) { say "Two!" }
    default  { say "Something!" }
}
