Re^2: Given When Syntax

in reply to Re: Given When Syntax
in thread Given When Syntax

Hi HazyLife. I did consider using the Switch module, but I had read that it is being deprecated and that I should be using given/when, and that is is more efficient. No other reason I can't or won't - I was just curious why I'm getting the syntax errors for given/when. Also, this is a part of a much larger script that has a long processing time and I'm trying to be as efficient as possible. Thanks for your input!

re hazylife's observation, you need to understand that... `use feature "switch";"` is NOT EQUAL to `use Switch;`. *Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:* code verbatim error and/or warning messages *a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work* actually means.**	[reply] [d/l] [select]

True, but the switch and smartmatching features (`given`+`when` and `~~`) are also experimental and likely to change.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
