Another trick, possibly not for beginners but sometimes handy:
my %switch = (
abc => sub { do_abc_code(); },
def => \&def_sub,
ghi => sub { $ghi++ },
);
foreach my $val (@LIST_OF_STUFF) {
&$switch{$val};
}
This is presented merely as an excercise for the adventurous;
DON'T expect it to be a fast way to write production code until you
really understand it!
Feel free to write me and ask if you're actually interested, tho,
lol....
