Re^3: if or switch?

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 ?

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.

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]
