I'm not sure I want an external source telling me which subs in my package to run without some control over which ones it's allowed to run. A hash of the allowed subrefs with a default error sub makes sense in that context. 
use strict;
use warnings;

sub one { print "one\n"; }
sub two { print "two\n"; }
sub tres { # some private sub they don't need to access }

my %dispatch = (
    'one' => \&one,
    'uno' => \&one,
    'two' => \&two,
    'dos' => \&two,
    'default' => sub { print "sorry, $_[0] not found.\n"; },
);

my @do_these = qw( one two uno dos tres );

foreach my $do_this ( @do_these ) {
    if ( exists $dispatch{ $do_this } ) {
        $dispatch{ $do_this }->();
    } else {
        $dispatch{ 'default' }->( $do_this );
    }
}
