+Switch.pm provides the syntax and semantics for an explicit case
+mechanism for Perl. The syntax is minimal, introducing only the
+keywords switch and case and conforming to the general pattern of
+existing Perl control structures. The semantics are particularly
+rich, allowing any one (or more) of nearly 30 forms of matching to
+be used when comparing a switch value with its various cases.
