You say "Frankly, I think I need an object, but I'm reluctant to use one or a closure.", but you're using closures in your code segment above.

You might want to consider this approach:

my $dispatch = { 1 => sub { search_menu() }, 2 => sub { my $book = shift; edit_name($book) }, 3 => sub { my $book = shift; add_entry($book) }, 4 => sub { my $book = shift; delete_entry($book) }, 5 => sub { save_default() }, 6 => sub { print "Goodbye!\n"; exit }, e => sub { print "Goodbye!\n"; exit } }; sub process { my ( $choice, $book ) = @_; print $dispatch->{$choice}->($book); }
Here, we're removing the closure completely, and passing the args directly to the appropriate sub. Did I completely miss what you're trying to do?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
