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..

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).
