in reply to HELP fix error in fineStructure conversion script

I'm not sure where you got that switch syntax, but it's wrong. Check out perlsyn for the correct syntax (using given/when), although note that it's experimental, and you need to add a line to suppress the warnings as noted in the docs. You can rewrite it with a normal if/elsif/else chain.
