in reply to Technique for building arguments from function name?

This is probably not a very good idea. You should rather look at either dispatch tables or OO programming.

I would really not recommend that (even less than AUTOLOAD), but it is certainly possible to obtain what you're looking for by tampering with the symbol table.

Update: Tampering with the symbol tables is what Anonymous Monk suggested earlier, I had not seen this post when I wrote mine.
