( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I have need of calling any one of umpteen methods, like so...

print join ', ', Module::Submodule::Method( @args );

...where the arg list varies by quantity, etc. The real call is for Device::LabJack with a sample method call like so...

Device::LabJack::AISample( @args );

...and where the method might be 'AISample', 'EAnalogIn', 'EAnalogOut', or any of a long list of others. I don't want to write a separate call for each. What I'd very much like is some means of passing that method name in as a variable...the same variable which I now employ to trigger assembly of an appropriate arg list. Some way of doing what would otherwise look like the (incorrect) usage below...

Device::LabJack::$some_var_name( @args );

Might there be some methodology whereby I can pass a variable to stand in for the method name? I could then use a single outer method to pass that name to the inner like so...

sub pass_thru { my $self = shift; my $method_name = shift; my @args = ...assemble args for $method_name... return Device::Labjack::$_[0](@args)

Thanks,

Gan Uesli Starling

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
