I downvoted this post because it's wrong. Please test your advice if you're not sure:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
sub foo { print "foo\n" }
my $f = 'foo';
&$f;
I generally prefer a dispatch table:
my %ops = (
one => \&one,
two => \&two,
);
my $op = $q->param( 'op' );
die "Invalid operation '$op'\n" unless exists $ops{ $op };
$subs{ $op }->();
You can also mess with can, though it's less secure -- with the ops hash you can control exactly which subs can ever be called.
my $op = $q->param( 'op' );
my $sub = __PACKAGE__->can( $op );
die "Invalid op '$op'\n" unless $sub;
$sub->();

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).
