Your code can be optimized like this:
Code:
#!/bin/csh
if ( "${1:e}" == "zip" ) then
  echo "$1 is a zip file"
else
  echo "sorry, $1 is not a zip file"
endif

A "case" statement in C-shell looks like this
Code:
switch ( "${1:e}" )
case zip:
  echo "$1 is a zip file"
  breaksw
case zap:
  echo "$1 is a zap file"
  breaksw
default:
  echo "sorry, $1 is neither a zip nor a zap file"
endsw

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your
					    # config -- defaults to
					    # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic]  # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;

	   my $ui      = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
	   my $name    = $ui->which;	    # Find out what shell you loaded

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
