Obviously I'm missing something key here. I have:

my @val  = (\val_input,\val_input,\val_input,\val_input,\val_number,\v
+al_date,\val_number,\val_filter);
        
for my $i ( 0 .. $#list) {        
   $code = $val[$i]; #which subroutine to call?
   ($sql{ $list[$i] }, $error) = $self->$code( $mand[$i], $self->query
+->param($list[$i] ));
   if ( $error-> { msg } ) { push @errors, ucfirst($list[$i])." $error
+->{ msg }" }
}

Sounds like I need a no strict 'refs' block in there. Possibly:

}
no strict 'refs';
$code = $val[$i];
}

But now I'm just speculating.
