chromatic - are you red flagging (or yellow-flagging) the use of the switch statement ? If so, could you specify which version you had bad experience with ? Switch Module? V5 or V6 option ? Perl6 (Rakudo, or pugs)? Perl 5.10 "feature" module ? Perl5 FAQ that fakes out "case" ? Was this an esoteric case ? Your response could help the community either toward reproducing and fixing bugs, or by directing programming practices based on your recommendation. Have you been high today? I see the nuns are gay!

See the documentation for the core Switch module. given/when in Perl 5.10 is more robust, and Perl 6 works effectively. The failure case isn't too esoteric; the use of regular expressions in your code can confuse Switch.	[reply]
