Not necessary.

        switch ($val) {
                case 3          { print "three"; goto odds }
                case 4          { print "three"; goto evens }

          odds: case __%2!=0    { print "that's odd" }
         evens: case __%2==0    { print "that's even" }
        }

Or for those who hate pasta:

        sub odds  { print "that's odd" }
        sub evens { print "that's even" }

        switch ($val) {
                case 3          { print "three"; odds }
                case 4          { print "three"; evens }

                case __%2!=0    { odds }
                case __%2==0    { evens }
        }
