If you installed the new perl 5.10, you could do something like:
use feature qw(say switch);
given($ARGV[1]) {
when ('-SMC') { $cust= 'SMC'; }
when ('-FET') { $cust= 'FET''; }
# .... add other conditions ...
# You can even use Regular expressions (Smart match) here, if nec
+essary like:::
when (/china/i) {$cust='China';}
default { say 'Invalid customer'; }
}

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).
