Hi,
the cases work (or at least compile) with explicit m// usage: m/q/i and
m/s/i. This is mentioned in the Switch documentation, if the '?' there
means 'any delimiter'.
LIMITATIONS
Due to the heuristic nature of Switch.pm's source parsing, the
presence of regexes specified with raw "?...?" delimiters may cause
mysterious errors. The workaround is to use "m?...?" instead.
I'm not quite sure if this should be closed, so I won't.
Cheers,
