Instead of an array, you could change to a hash and use the
subroutine name as the key. Then if the key is defined, you execute
otherwise bypass.
Wags ;)

Subject: Using a variable name to invoke a subroutine
I have a script that uses an array to determine weather or not a subroutine
needs to be run or not. I want to be able do a foreach on the array and
invoke the subroutine using the control variable. The names of the
subroutines are the same as the items inside the array. This is what I have
so far:
.....
foreach $sub (@list_of_subs) {
&{$sub}; ##-- this is the part I am stuck on. This doesn't work
}
.....
I have a bunch of subroutines defined in the script, but they don't need to
be invoked unless the "@list_of_subs" contains the name of the sub. I know
that I could stick a bunch of if statements in there and make this work, but
I am trying to be a little more efficient if I can. Any insight would be
appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rz
