Sorry to come up again with a question, in particular one which I feel should be trivial (but I still don't see how to do it):

Assume I'm inside the method mymethod of the class below, 

package MyClass;
sub new { ... }
sub f { ... }
sub g { ... }
sub h { ... }
sub mymethod {
  my ($self, $mref)=@_;
  # Assume $mref is one of \&f, \&g or \&h
  ...
}

[download]
and I would like to call the method which $mref refers to. Of course if I would, say, want to call method f unconditionally, I would simply write $self->f, but now we have the reference to the sub instead. My first attempt to write this was 
$self->&{ $mref }()

[download]
but this gave a syntax error (why?). The second attempt was more successful: Writing 
$mref->($self)

[download]
worked. Nevertheless, I have the feeling that there must exist some way to write this call, while still keeping the $self->notion. Any ideas?
