Lets say I have a list of subroutine names in an array, and I want to loop throught that array and call the subroutines named. (putting references as the values isnt an option because I dynamically generating the list from a db, but I am simplifying).
@listofsubs = qw(sub1 sub2 sub3);
foreach $sub (@listofsubs) {
#something to call $sub;
}
sub sub1 {
#does sub1 stuff
}
sub sub2 {
#does sub2 stuff
}
sub sub3 {
#does sub3 stuff
}
The list of subs will be known, I just dont want to write a bunch of if statements to process each one. I was thinking about creating a hash that points to each of the sub routines, but I was thinking there was something easier.
Thanks,
B

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).
