Re^12: Function name in a variable, can't recall the concept (introspection with ->can )

\&$name works even under strict refs. No need to turn it off.

Perfect, makes the code even simpler

You need to return something (undef?) in the else case.

~~Good question actually.~~ My tests didn't seem to need it...

sub test { ... } ;
...
if ( my $s = get_sub_by_name( "", "test" ) ) {
    $s->() ;
} else {
    print "No\n" ;
}

It wasn't a question. Your code relies on the result of an `if` statement with a false conditional being that false value, and it shouldn't.	[reply] [d/l]
