That makes the most sense to me too. Plus if you need to scale up your switch statement, it's easy with a hash! $hash{1} = sub {print "You chose turkey";};
$hash{2} = sub {print "You chose Goat;"; print "..ew";};
for (keys %hash) {
&{$hash{$_}};
}
..Obviously for just picking what to print, you're making work for yourself, but if you need to accomplish more than that (which is usually the case), it can save time (without a million elsifs cluttering your code).

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).
