Maintainability flaw: using an anonymous array rather than an anonymous hash or named constants. Can you tell me what 3 and 4 mean in your code?

Also a gotcha, this function will work in a module and may not when buried in the body of your program because %map isn't yet populated. Solutions: put a BEGIN in front of the start of your block, be aware of the limitation, or put a check in division_service that populates %map if it isn't populated yet.

And style points. I don't like &{...}() as much as (...)->(). Also I don't know what I think of your cute trick with putting the error check inside the dereference rather than doing a traditional exists test.
