Fellow monks,
I'm in the middle of a project and I've run into a small problem in trying to keep strict.

I have a bitmask which is related to tests to be run. The easiest way I've determined to do this is, if the bit is set, run the test, but i do this with an object function call from the var. I know otherways around this, but I'm looking for effciency. And I don't know that 16 if statements are better then using "no strict refs;".

Here's what I'm talking about, keep in mind I have to add "no strict refs" to the module code in order for it to work this way.
use strict;


my %byte;
my $mask = "267"; #example
my @tests = ("test0", "test1", "test2", "test3", "test4",
             "test5", "test6", "test7", "test8");

@byte{@tests}= map { 1<<$_ } 0..8;    #props to tye

foreach my $test (@tests){
    if($mask & $byte{$test}){
        $mask = $mask ^ $byte{$test} unless $t->$test();
        #if the test returned false we unset the bit
    }
}

So, in your opinion, is there a better way to do this and still keep strict?
