+This document describes version 2.09 of Switch,

=head1 SYNOPSIS
Perl 6 will provide a built-in switch statement with essentially the
same semantics as those offered by Switch.pm, but with a different
-pair of keywords. In Perl 6 C<switch> with be spelled C<given>, and
+pair of keywords. In Perl 6 C<switch> will be spelled C<given>, and
C<case> will be pronounced C<when>. In addition, the C<when> statement
-will use a colon between its case value and its block (removing the
-need to parenthesize variables.
+will not require switch or case values to be parenthesized.
-This future syntax is also available via the Switch.pm module, by
+This future syntax is also (largely) available via the Switch.pm module, by
importing it with the argument C<"Perl6">. For example:
use Switch 'Perl6';
given ($val) {
- when 1 : { handle_num_1(); }
- when $str1 : { handle_str_1(); }
- when [0..9] : { handle_num_any(); last }
- when /\d/ : { handle_dig_any(); }
- when /.*/ : { handle_str_any(); }
+ when 1 { handle_num_1(); }
+ when ($str1) { handle_str_1(); }
+ when [0..9] { handle_num_any(); last }
+ when /\d/ { handle_dig_any(); }
+ when /.*/ { handle_str_any(); }
}
-Note that you can mix and match both syntaxes by importing the module
+Note that scalars still need to be parenthesized, since they would be
+ambiguous in Perl 5.
+
+Note too that you can mix and match both syntaxes by importing the module
with:
use Switch 'Perl5', 'Perl6';
