Powershell switch statement for setting multiple variables

I am in the process of converting some old VB script to Powershell. I am trying to use the Switch statement to set several variables. Is this possible in Powershell? In VBS, my code would look something like this:

Select Case ENV
    Case "DEV"
        : SRCDRV  = "\\Server1" _
        : DESTDRV = "\\Server1\Folder1\"

    Case "TEST"
        : SRCDRV  = "F:" _
        : DESTDRV = "\\Server1\Folder2\"

    Case "PROD"
        : SRCDRV  = "F:" _
        : DESTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder2\"
End Select

I tried something similar in PS, but it doesn't seem to set the variables.

switch ($cENV) {
    DEV { 
        $SRCDRV = "\\Server1"
        $DSTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder1\"
        break     
    }
    TEST {
        $SRCDRV = "\\Server1"
        $DSTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder2\"
        break
     }
    PROD {
        $SRCDRV = "\\Server1"
        $DSTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder2\"
        break
     }
}

When I check the value of DESTDRV or SRCDRV, I get an error: the variable '$ SRCDRV' could not be restored because it was not set. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Do you install $ cENV first?

I run the exact script above:

$cENV = "DEV"
switch ($cENV) {
    DEV { 
        $SRCDRV = "\\Server1"
        $DSTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder1\"
    }
    TEST {
        $SRCDRV = "\\Server1"
        $DSTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder2\"
     }
    PROD {
        $SRCDRV = "\\Server1"
        $DSTDRV = "\\Server2\Folder2\"
     }
}
$SRCDRV

And he returns

\\Server1

    throw "No matching environment for `$cENV: $cENV"
  }
