3dan already answered your actual question: you want $coderef->(@args). I've just got a minor point of terminiology to clear up. \&foo does not return the address of &foo, it returns a reference to &foo.

The difference is important, if somewhat subtle. The address of &foo is just a number, without intrinsic meaning. A reference to &foo "knows" what it's pointing at, and indeed, that it's pointing at something. It serves as an indicator to perl that what it's refering to is not garbage, and that it can't be thrown away just yet, while there is still a refernce to it.
