=head2 Conditional and looping constructs
-Perl has most of the usual conditional and looping constructs except for
-case/switch (but if you really want it, there is a Switch module in Perl
-5.8 and newer, and on CPAN. See the section on modules, below, for more
-information about modules and CPAN).
+Perl has most of the usual conditional and looping constructs. As of Perl
+5.10, it even has a case/switch statement (spelled C<given>/C<when>). See
+L<perlsyn/"Switch statements"> for more details.
The conditions can be any Perl expression. See the list of operators in
the next section for information on comparison and boolean logic operators,
