in thread fall through switch/case in perl

I'm confused... are we arguing or agreeing? :-D

Agreeing--with gusto :).

Yes, but what if $var were 11?

Ah! I (stupidly) didn't test that one. Point made.

(Insert Spinal-Tap joke here).

Actually, if you're so tough that you can make light of a spinal tap, I think I'm gonna agree with you--whatever you say :).

    I wasn't making light of a spinal tap, an unbelievably painful procedure that I don't even want to contemplate; I was referring to the movie "This Is Spinal Tap" about the (fictitious) band by name Spinal Tap. One of the most classic movie scenes of all time must be the one in which the band's lead guitarist is explaining why this particular amp is so good: most amps only go up to ten, but this one goes to eleven.

    Why not make it go to ten, but make ten louder?

    <dumb-struck silence>... But this one goes to eleven.

    Rent the movie, you'll be glad you did.
