I've added a message about Switch to the package mask, so people should get 
informed now.

# Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@gentoo.org> (29 Jun 2014)
# Mask perl-5.12 and related package versions prior to removal
# If you require the Switch package, emerge perl-core/Switch
=dev-lang/perl-5.12*
=perl-core/Module-CoreList-2.800.0
=virtual/perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56
=virtual/perl-Module-CoreList-2.800.0
virtual/perl-Switch
