[Phoenix-pm] Perl 5's switch, smart-match, and say

[Scott Walters]

Hi Perl Mongers!

For those of you who don't follow use.perl.org (or p5p): "Perl 5 turns 18 and 
is given some lovely birthday presents, such as Perl 6's switch, smart match 
and say. Constants get smaller, faster and cheaper. So with all that and more,
it's probably time for 5.9.3 to escape from the lab."

I watched this all unfold and it was most impressive. I for one am much 
looking forward to switch and smart matching in Perl 5.

Cheers,
-scott

P.S.: To the two of you I've been meaning to hook up with for a beer, I suck.
I'm sorry. I'll try to get my ass in gear, but it's so hard for me to break
my routine.
