Switch (2.16)
With all due respect to the author, Switch is no longer necessary in 5.10+ as 5.10+ already introduced smart matching and given(). given() is superior because it doesn't introduce compile-time overhead, doesn't mess line numbers, and should be faster (simply because smart match is fast, and Switch is not utilizing it).
You have been using 5.10+, right? (Since 5.8 is no longer officially supported)

An excellent and extremely versatile switch/case that I would use all the time if it did not completely confuse the Perl interpreter's idea of line numbering. Introduction of this switch makes debugging a nightmare, throwing off all line nubmer reporting in the module in which it is used.

What can I say? It's a switch statement for Perl. I use it a lot because sometimes I just really prefer doing things with a switch. And it works like a charm! Wonderful stuff.
