If you look closer, you'll see there is indeed a can $execute $_action up at the top..

I was going to go with the dispatch table hash approach originally, but what irked me was that I had to put either the entire subroutine code above the body of the main program (when what I wanted is to put them below), or write this => \&do_this hash entries which means maintaining an extra list - neither of which I found satisfactory. After looking at my switch-like construct long and hard enough I noticed I had a bunch of veiled method calls.. hence this was the "natural" solution.

Are you sure warnings will do an srand for me? (It is a left-over I forgot to remove from the actual script for this example - there's some password generation in there.) I'd be very surprised if it did..

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.
