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

Update: Doh! Didn't read through the thread far enough to see Tanktalus had already given a better version of the same trick (twice).

Really light weight OO stuff can ease the path:

use strict; use warnings; my @listofsubs = qw(sub1 wibble sub2 sub3); my $obj = bless {}; for my $sub (@listofsubs) { if (my $callSub = $obj->can ($sub)) { $callSub->(); next; } print "Can't $sub\n"; } sub sub1 { print "does sub1 stuff\n"; } sub sub2 { print "does sub2 stuff\n"; } sub sub3 { print "does sub3 stuff\n"; }

Prints:

does sub1 stuff Can't wibble does sub2 stuff does sub3 stuff

and all you need to do to add a new sub is add the sub.


Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
