Very cool, Tom (I learned something!).
Here is another alternative:
foreach my $MySubName (@list) {
## &{\&$MySubName}($MySubName); # This works!
## $::{$MySubName}($MySubName); # This (tmoertel) is better.
no strict qw(refs);
&{*$MySubName}($MySubName); # Use GLOB - Also cool!
#Chromatic's OO way --
#can(METHOD)
# can checks to see if its object has a method called METHOD,
# if it does then a reference to the sub is returned, i
# if it does not then undef is returned.
# main->can($MySubName)->($MySubName);
}
Update:Added Chromatic's OO-Style + Doc
Earth first! (We'll rob the other planets later)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
