Maybe all you need are objects?
(pure intellectual masturbation ;)
$\="\n";$,="\t";
{
package SAS;
our ($ini,$last);
sub _1 {$ini-$last}
sub _2{$last-$ini}
sub _3 {$ini-$last}
}
$SAS::ini=4;
$SAS::last=2;
print &SAS::_1, &SAS::_2 , &SAS::_3;
#or
package SAS2;
our ($ini,$last);
sub _1 {$ini-$last}
sub _2{$last-$ini}
sub _3 {$ini-$last}
package main;
$ini=10;
$last=5;
print SAS2::_1(), SAS2::_2(), SAS2::_3();
If you really need a hash like structure you may wanna try investigate the %SAS:: hash to grep all functions starting with an underscore.
print map {$_->()} grep {/::_/} values %SAS::;
of course this map-grep operation could be a method of your object ...

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).
