Here's an alternative that doesn't use a loop:
package MyModule;
use vars qw(@ISA);
BEGIN {
@ISA = ...;
*MyModule::Super::ISA = \@ISA;
}
sub dostuff {
if (...condition...) {
if (my $method = MyModule::Super->can('dostuff')) {
goto $method;
}
...die?...
}
...
}
You probably know that dostuff exists in a parent, you can simplify it down to:
package MyModule;
use vars qw(@ISA);
BEGIN {
@ISA = ...;
*MyModule::Super::ISA = \@ISA;
}
sub dostuff {
goto(MyModule::Super->can('dostuff')) if (...condition...);
...
}
Don't put any methods (or at least not 'dostuff') in the MyModule::Super package (namespace) for this to work.

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).
