I have several statements accessing a hash of arrays, eg: 
    while ( (my $key, my $value) = each %partners) {
        if ($item eq $key) {
            ($partners,$email,$nickname,$realname,$postcode,$phone) = 
+(@$value);
            push (@allmembers, $item);
            my @partners_split = split / /, $partners;
            push (@allmembers, @partners_split);
        }
    }

and 
while ( (my $key, my $value) = each %partners) {
    if ($item eq $key) {
        ($partners,$email,$nickname,$realname,$postcode,$phone) = (@$v
+alue);
        ##another, different action;
    }
}

These are identical apart from the action that takes place within, and so I would like to create a subroutine containing a variable representing the action, which I can define before calling the subroutine.

Could anyone advise me how I could do this?

Update: I noticed that the actions in both examples were very similar so I changed the second to a comment to avoid confusion...
