Arg! Don't do that nesting of the if!, use:
if (condition1) {
#action 1
}
elsif (condition2) {
#action 2
}
else {
#default
}

>
> /MA/ && do {

> last SWITCH;
> } # end do MA stuff
>

There is only certain people that appeals to, not including myself. Those who like it should
notice Damian Conway uses it in "Object Orientated Perl"...

What if there is HUNDREDS of items, then it'd be really slow. For a better approach using hashes
then see what I did in:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/perl-beginner/message/9583
Remembering you can build your hash like:
my %hash = (
state1 => sub {
# Do something
},
state2 => sub {
# Do something
}
);
