Dear Masters,
I have 5 functions (A,B,..E) which need to be called in various combinations, from user input. Currently I do it in the following hard coded way:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $func_com = $ARGV[0] || 'ABC'; #user input
my @some_val = (0..10);

my @all_res;

# Now begin hard-coding all possible function call
# with else-if

if ($func_com eq 'A') {
    
    my @tempA = func_A(@some_val);
    push @all_res, [\@tempA];
}
elsif ($func_com eq 'AB'){
    
    my @tempA = func_A(@some_val);
    my @tempB = func_B(@some_val);
    
    push @all_res, [\@tempA, \@tempB];
}
elsif ($func_com eq 'ABC'){
    
    my @tempA = func_A(@some_val);
    my @tempB = func_B(@some_val);
       my @tempC = func_C(@some_val);
    
    push @all_res, [\@tempA, \@tempB, \@tempC];
}
##...etc, for all possible function combination of
## A,B, ...E

# Do something with @all_res

#-------------------
# Functions collection
#-------------------

sub func_A {
    my @arr = @_;
    my @output;
    # do sth with @arr
    return @output;
}

sub func_B {
    my @arr = @_;
    my @output;
    # do sth with @arr
    return @output;
}

# .... etc until func_E

The problem I had is that: is there an alternative construct to avoid hard coding all the possible else-if function combinations above?
Because the functions will grow to more than just 5 above.
