I believe you are asking: Is there Perl equivalent to C's switch/case construct? Not exactly. To see the official Perl documentation on this, run: perldoc -q case This will search the FAQs for the keyword "case" and in the second question you'll get some information, and a pointer to another bit of Perl documentation, the "perlsyn" page. A common idiom is something like this: SWITCH: for ($value) { /regex/ and do { something($x); last SWITCH }; /regex/ and do { something($y); last SWITCH }; (! $value) and do { something(0); last SWITCH }; something($default); } The documentation mentions Switch, the module. While Switch is neat, I wouldn't suggest using it in production. -- rjbs
