Ooh, that's some other kind of language. No, I meant the Perl kind of
switch, as in
http://www.cpan.org/doc/FMTEYEWTK/switch_statements
Which just means testing $1 against various things the way you were doing
it. Actually, it would be best to save $1 first, so
if (my ($match) = /($regex)/o) {
# test $match
