I have an object with a method that returns references to other methods on that object. I need to call those methods with parameters.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper;

use Foo;

my $help   = 'Please display this message';
my $foo    = Foo->new;
my $subref = $foo->subref;

foreach my $pos (@{$subref->{order}}){
  print "POS: $pos\n";
  my $sub = $subref->{dispatch}->{$pos};
  print Dumper($sub);
  &$sub($help);
}

package Foo;
use strict; use warnings;

sub new { bless {}, shift; }
 
sub suba 
{ 
  my $self  = shift;
  my $param = shift || '';
  print "Message is: $param\n";
}

sub subb { return; }

sub subref
{
  my $self = shift;
  return {
    order => ['A', 'B'],
    dispatch => {
      A => sub { $self->suba },
      B => sub { $self->subb },
    }
  };
}

POS: A
$VAR1 = sub { "DUMMY" };
Message is:
POS: B
$VAR1 = sub { "DUMMY" };
