The switch/case might be the result of initially basing the grammar on the C grammar. So presumably it should be removed.
Also, because I'm a TM language definition newbie, does anyone have any tips about how to handle the // (defined or) operator? In some contexts // is an empty regex; in others it's an operator
In the Ruby grammar we have a list of functions that take regexp arguments to solve the division/regexp ambiguity -- something similar could be done for perl wrt the split case.
