Dear Monks,

I am currently creating a script which will run on windows computer.
This script will test a lot of the system settings.

Tests will be often added or removed.

If I try to use the code below, I got the following message: "Can't use string ("test1") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at testlist.pl line 10."

I understand the error message, but what should be the best and easy way to avoid this situation? (I can ommit the "use strict", but it is not the way I want to do it)

 
use strict;
use warnings;

my @testlist=('test1','test2');

foreach (@testlist)
        {
        print ("dear user test $_ is currently running\n");
    #call test
        &$_();
        }

sub test1 {
    #test1 code
    print "test1...done\n";
}
sub test2 {
    #test2 code
    print "test2...done\n";
}

Thanks in advance
