G'day feumw,
With some realistic, example values for $sFunction, I may have provided a slightly different solution; however,
in general, I'd probably tackle this with a dispatch table.
Here's some example code showing the technique.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %action_for;
%action_for = (
test1 => sub {
my ($input) = @_;
print "*** Input: $input\n";
print "Test 1 code\n"
},
test2 => sub {
my ($input) = @_;
$action_for{test1}->($input);
print "Test 2 code\n";
},
);
my @tests = qw{
test1 test2 Atest1 test2B XYZ
test1C test2D Etest1F Gtest2H
};
/(test\d)/ && $action_for{$1}->($_) for @tests;
Output:
*** Input: test1
Test 1 code
*** Input: test2
Test 1 code
Test 2 code
*** Input: Atest1
Test 1 code
*** Input: test2B
Test 1 code
Test 2 code
*** Input: test1C
Test 1 code
*** Input: test2D
Test 1 code
Test 2 code
*** Input: Etest1F
Test 1 code
*** Input: Gtest2H
Test 1 code
Test 2 code

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).
