either the $k or the $closure method work

Be careful! Whilst the for my $name... works, it is dangerous:

my @names = qw[ the quick brown fox ]; 
undef %h; 
for my $alias ( @names ){ 
    $h{ $alias } = sub { 
        print $alias; 
        $alias = 'fred';      ####### Mysterious action at a distance 
+here
    }; 
}; 

pp \%h; 
{
  brown => sub { "???" },
  fox   => sub { "???" },
  quick => sub { "???" },
  the   => sub { "???" },
}

for my $key ( keys %h ) { $h{ $key }->(); };;
the

brown
quick

print @names;;

With the for my $name ( ... ) method, the closures are and remain aliases to the source list in the for loop; which means that if you assign to the closure within the subroutine, you will cause spooky action at a distance to the content of that source.

And perhaps worse, changes to the source of the for list, will remotely change the contents of the closures:

[0]{} Perl> 
my @names = qw[ the quick brown fox ]; 
undef %h; 
for my $alias ( @names ){ 
    $h{ $alias } = sub { 
        print $alias; 
    }; 
}; 
pp \%h; 
{
  brown => sub { "???" },
  fox   => sub { "???" },
  quick => sub { "???" },
  the   => sub { "???" },
}

$names[ 1 ] .= 'Mysterious changes';  ###### And again here!

for my $key ( keys %h ) { $h{ $key }->(); };;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Not understood.

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).
