Not a bad solution, at least for the example I put forth. I like the ability
to have the specific as well as the general in the case statement ('2' and
'__%2 != 0'). Thanks.

Not necessary.
switch ($val) {
case 3 { print "three"; goto odds }
case 4 { print "three"; goto evens }
odds: case __%2!=0 { print "that's odd" }
evens: case __%2==0 { print "that's even" }
}
Or for those who hate pasta:
sub odds { print "that's odd" }
sub evens { print "that's even" }
switch ($val) {
case 3 { print "three"; odds }
case 4 { print "three"; evens }
case __%2!=0 { odds }
case __%2==0 { evens }
}
