From:
To:
Merely adding "use Switch;" to a perl program breaks the use of
__DATA__ sections via <DATA>:

$ cat switch.pl
use Switch;
print <DATA>;
__DATA__
foobar

$ perl switch.pl

$ cat switch.pl
#use Switch;
print <DATA>;
__DATA__
foobar

$ perl switch.pl
foobar

This is not documented under LIMITATIONS in Switch(3pm).

Right.

As noted in https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=97440 this
is a bug/limitation of Filter::Util::Call (reported as
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=101033)
