Ok, so I am building a simple disk caching class to go out and record some directory snapshots for me. The reason being that it's quicker to look up an element in a multi-dimentional hash than it is to do a 'readdir(DIR)'. Anyway, I wanted to make it general so that I can add directories to the cache according to an alias; ie. the following code:
     use RadCache;
     my $cache = RadCache->new();
     $cache->AddAlias(myAlias => 'c:\temp');
Then I can do a build like so: 
     $cache->Build();
However, I want to be able to add specialty build functions so you can do something like this: 
     $cache->AddSpecialty(myAlias => \&myFunc);
Where &myFunc is written in the user's file, not the RadCache file. This has been R A D...
