We have the following bug reported to the Debian package of Switch

It doesn't seem to be a bug in the packaging, so you may want to take
a look. Thanks!

Package: libswitch-perl
Version: 2.17-2
Severity: important
Hi,
this minimal testcase produces an error:
flo@p2:/tmp/m$ ./t
syntax error at ./t line 36, near "}continue"
Execution of ./t aborted due to compilation errors.
use Switch;
sub parsetimedelta {
switch($mult) {
case /s/ { $time*=1; }
}
}
sub config_read {
while(<$fd>) {
}
}
Changing the "case /s/" to "case /a/" or other characters i checked fixed
the error or removing the comment line or the closing bracket on the comment line.
Flo
