In the following example we can see the usage of switch case in Perl. Here we shall be using the 'Switch' CPAN module specifically. Here the following Program name is 'switch_case.pl'
#!/usr/bin/perl use Switch; # Defining an array of numbers my @arr = (1, 2, 3, 4); # Selecting any random element from the array my $randomnumber = $arr[rand @arr]; # using the switch case functionality switch($randomnumber) { case 1 { print "First Element Of Array: $randomnumber\n" } case 2 { print "Second Element Of Array: $randomnumber\n" } case 3 { print "Third Element Of Array: $randomnumber\n" } else { print "Fourth Element Of Array: $randomnumber\n" } }
Steps To Run The Program: ------------------------- 1) On the command prompt goto the directory where the program is created, type the following and hit enter. perl switch_case.pl Output of the above program is either of the following lines: First Element Of Array: 1 or First Element Of Array: 2 or First Element Of Array: 3 or First Element Of Array: 4
