I see your point (and obviously misunderstood what you were questioning when I posted my earlier reply), but I'm not convinced that the equivalent
my %dispatch = (
first => \&_create_first,
last => \&_create_last,
user => \&_create_user,
id => \&_create_id,
email => \&_create_email,
create_password => \&_create_create_password,
);
is any more virtuous than the
map in the OP. Both have the same potential for run-time errors if one or more of the referenced subs doesn't actually exist - simply naming them explicitly does not turn it into a compile-time error:
$ perl -E 'use strict; use warnings; my %d = ( foo => \&foo ); say "OK
+"'
OK
Retyping
_create_ every time doesn't actually buy you anything aside from maybe an eyeball error check. (
_create_create_password does look a little suspicious to me, but it might still be correct in the OP's code.)

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).
