or skip the dispatch hash altogether and instead dispatch by name:
use strict;
use warnings;
for my $name (qw(Title Description Object Properties Value Wibble)) {
my $code = main->can("do$name");
if (!$code) {
print "!!! Missing handler for '$name'\n";
next;
}
$code->();
}
sub doTitle {
print "Title handler\n"
}
sub doDescription {
print "Description handler\n"
}
sub doObject {
print "Object handler\n"
}
sub doProperties {
print "Properties handler\n"
}
sub doValue {
print "Value handler\n"
}
Prints:
Title handler
Description handler
Object handler
Properties handler
Value handler
!!! Missing handler for 'Wibble'
Now if you need a new handler all you do is add the sub.
