Probably won't be a popular comment, but you asked for any comments. Mine: don't use 'say' (or 'switch'). There, I sayed it. (How to justify it... Time saved? You spent some amount of time puzzling over it, then posted to perlmonks asking how to do it. A lot of time there. Or maybe it's clearer? 'say', a new feature, works now because....somehow it's been enabled. Well, if you set some environment variable or whatever, which won't work elsewhere. Seems not really so clear. Easier to wait a few years before using new syntax of dubious value, IMHO. Just because UNIVERSAL::can($you, 'do_something') doesn't mean UNIVERSAL::should($you, 'do_something') :))

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
