Greetings, Fellow Monks.

I'm working on something that involves using a switch() statement to call different subroutines based on the values inside a hash. Here is what the code looks like: 

use Switch;
switch(%A) {
    case 'sloven' { $responseXML .= sloven('xml') }
    case 'leggert' { $responseXML .= wiggedy() }
    ...
}

...And so on. This is all well and good, but in every single case, I'm appending to $responseXML. In keeping with the Perlish quality of laziness, is there a way to append to $responseXML in every case, without having to type it every time?

Thanks,
