Hello Gajo,
A different approach to your problem is to use a data structure, e.g. an
array or hash. Your script rewritten using an array,
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my @option = ("one","two","three","four","five","six","maybe seven?");
print "Type in a number 1-", $#option+1, ": ";
$s = ;
chomp $s ;
i
Try this:
SWITCH:
{
$s == 1 && do {print "one\n"; last SWITCH;};
$s == 2 && do {print "two\n"; last SWITCH;};
$s == 3 && do {print "three\n"; last SWITCH;};
$s == 4 && do {print "four\n"; last SWITCH;};
$s == 5 && do {print "five\n"; last SWITCH;};
print " No match found.\n";
}
You need a colon,

Hi,
when you get $s from STDIN, it comes along with a newline,
so try something like: chomp($s = );
A+

Hi, I have a problem with SWITCH. I wrote this, I think
it's clear to anzone what it should do:
print "Type in a number 1-5: ";
$s = ;
SWITCH;
{
if ($s == 1) { print "one\n"; last SWITCH; }
if ($s == 2) { print "two\n"; last SWITCH; }
if ($s == 3) { print "three\n"; last SWITCH; }
if ($s == 4
