PHP has a function in which the replacement of an RE match can be
handled by the name of a given function. Does Perl have something
similar? Should be. After all PHP calls these lots the PCRE functions.

In other words, I want to do this:

===========================================
 while(<>){
        chomp;
        s/<\d\d\d\d>/my_convert_func(\1)/g;
        print;
 }
==========================================

Here whatever is the return value of my_convert_func() is the
replacement text for that particular match.
