use CGI qw(:all); my $op = param('operation'); TestPkg->$dispatch('Hello!') if UNIVERSAL::can('TestPkg', $dispatch);
You could also define an AUTOLOAD in TestPkg and forget about it entirely.
my $input = <>; $_->($input) for map /^_/ ? () : *{$TestPkg::{$_}}{CODE} || (), keys %TestPkg::;
Or maybe
my $input = <>; my $sub; !/^_/ && *$sub{CODE} && *$sub{CODE}->($input) while ($_, $sub) = each %TestPkg::;
Any way you turn it though, I don't see the advantage of
package Foo; use Dispatch; sub bar { ... } sub baz { ... } package main; my $t = Foo->create_dptable; $t->{bar}->($quux);
over
my $t = { bar => sub { ... }, baz => sub { ... }, }; $t->{bar}->($quux);

If anything, the latter keeps together things that belong together and is quicker to grasp the purpose of.
