While "goto &sub" is an interesting way to go about this, the cautiousness/conciousness needed in the twiddling of @_, and the oddity of its syntax are not what I am looking for.

I would like to find a way to do this without any actual programmer intervention. Maybe through some kind of post-compilation op-code manipulation. The more I read about the B & Opcode modules and such, it seems like it might be way to complex.

I cooked up a module a while back (after reading a book ML and a few on Erlang), while in some ways it belongs in the obsfucated code section of this site more than anywhere else, I was happy with its (sorta) simplicity/purity of design. While I have never benchmarked it, I know it would never hold up in production.
