in thread Creating dispatch table with variable in function name

Ugh, forgot the ->() bit to actually call the function. The sub { "DUMMY" } output when printing the variable was also throwing me off.

    Uf the sub { "DUMMY" } came from Data::Dumper, you can tell it to show the code by turning Deparse on: 
    use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Deparse = 1;
print Dumper(sub { $_[0] . $_[1] });
