Speaking of Schwartzian transform, is there a simple way to define a ST-method and then apply it to different circumstances? The problem is felt when trying to sort two different kinds of things, yet without having to write the ST again and again, each time with a minor change.

Consider: 
my @blobs = map { $_->[0] }
            sort {$a->[1] cmp $b->[1] }
            map { [$_, $_->property_foo()] }
            @blob_list;

my @flobs = map { $_->[0] }
            sort {$a->[1] cmp $b->[1] }
            map { [$_, $_->function_bar()] }
            @flob_list;

You can do this with C++ templates. How, though, in Perl, though without using eval or sacrificing the value of warnings when passing bad function names?
