+%description
+Switch.pm provides the syntax and semantics for an explicit case mechanism for 
+Perl. The syntax is minimal, introducing only the keywords C<switch> and 
+C<case> and conforming to the general pattern of existing Perl control 
+structures. The semantics are particularly rich, allowing any one (or more) of 
+nearly 30 forms of matching to be used when comparing a switch value with its 
+various cases.
