in thread Function name in a variable, can't recall the concept

You're missing the point. I'm not proposing a solution; I'm saying that yours is ludicrous. It makes absolutely no sense to use 

my $sub =
   @{ get_array_by_name($pkg, 'ISA') }
      ? get_sub_by_name($pkg, $name)
      : $pkg->can($name);

instead of 

my $sub = get_sub_by_name($pkg, $name);

The implementation of get_sub_by_name isn't relevant to that point.

    it's getting more and more ridiculous, I'm out.

    1) What's wrong with that?

2) You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the code is, since
+ it's needed no matter what.

      Yes, so I've been saying. Ludicrous, ridiculous, insane. These are synonyms.
