I have several statements accessing a hash of arrays, eg:
while ( (my $key, my $value) = each %partners) {
if ($item eq $key) {
($partners,$email,$nickname,$realname,$postcode,$phone) =
+(@$value);
push (@allmembers, $item);
my @partners_split = split / /, $partners;
push (@allmembers, @partners_split);
}
}
and
while ( (my $key, my $value) = each %partners) {
if ($item eq $key) {
($partners,$email,$nickname,$realname,$postcode,$phone) = (@$v
+alue);
##another, different action;
}
}
These are identical apart from the action that takes place within, and so I would like to create a subroutine containing a variable representing the action, which I can define before calling the subroutine.
Could anyone advise me how I could do this?
Update: I noticed that the actions in both examples were very similar so I changed the second to a comment to avoid confusion...

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).
