in thread something like switch(case) in Perl

As a word of caution, Switch is *not* a great module; yes, it replicates what C has, but it's not efficient nor impervious to bugs. As I believe the lastest word on Perl 6 from Larry has implied, the lack of a good switch block in Perl 5 is very much apparent.

Keep this in mind when working with this. Switch might work, but be prepared to find weird things happening if you ask it for too much.

It's not what you know, but knowing how to find it if you don't know that's important
