Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Switch.pm provides the syntax and semantics for an explicit case mechanism for Perl. The syntax is minimal, introducing only the keywords C<switch> and C<case> and conforming to the general pattern of existing Perl control structures. The semantics are particularly rich, allowing any one (or more) of nearly 30 forms of matching to be used when comparing a switch value with its various cases.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
